Intro SI FA# SI FA# (2x)
SI FA#
Look at the kid from school
SI FA#
He’s teaching mamas and papas how to be a little cool
SI FA#
He’s changing fashion, the way he dress
SI FA#
The tracksuits are old, and the hoody’s way too moody
MIb SIb
For a kid with the will to funk
SI FA# DO#
He dances in secret; he’s a part-time punk
SI FA#
She’s getting off the plane
SI FA#
She wants to write a thesis on the population underprivileged
SI FA#
The kids fighting up the lane
SI
Shop lifting, just drifting
FA#
Like The Switchblade And The Cross
MIb SIb
But if there’s trouble she’s got the moves
SI FA# DO#
She’s taking an elementary class in Kung fu
SI FA#
I left my washing in the launderette
SI FA#
You can put some money on it, you can place a little bet
SI
That when I see my washing
MIb SIb SI FA#
The black will be grey and the white will be grey
DO#
But the blues are still blue
SI FA#
I’m crying out for my mum
SI FA#
If the malady don’t go away we’re in a little trouble
SI FA#
With the boss of the company
SI FA#
I’m a singer, a swinger I’m a layabout but laying on
MIb SIb
The dock in the lazy sun
SI FA# DO#
Will never quite relegate me to a bum
SI FA#
I left my lady in the launderette
SI FA#
You can put some money on it, you can place a little bet
SI
That when I see my lady
MIb SIb SI FA#
The black will be white and the white will be black
DO#
But the blues are still blue
Base do solo:
SI - DO#
SI - FA# - SI - FA# - SI
MIb - SIb - SI - FA# - DO#
SI FA#
Baby, I love your face
SI
I’ve been creeping round this town because…
FA#
Well, creeping’s just my way
SI FA#
But with a little wink I’ll be there
SI FA#
I’ll be excited for a week, but then excitement starts to fade
MIb SIb
I know your young, but you’re out of touch
SI FA# DO#
You’re French, your vocabulary’s not quite formed
SI FA#
I left my homework in the launderette
SI FA#
I got a letter from my mamma which my stoopid dog has ate
SI
I hid behind the fence
MIb SIb SI FA#
Here comes the deputy head with the bark of a bulldog
DO#
He’s not making much sense
SI FA#
I left my lady in the launderette
SI FA#
You can put some money on it, you can place a little bet
SI
That when I see my lady
MIb SIb SI FA#
The black will be white and the white will be black
DO#
But the blues are still blue
