[Verse]
N.C. D
It was the first time we really took a chance
D
To view the world behind our fathers' backs
D A
We left our parents playing rummy by the cottage porch light
C Em G D
And went walkin' down to Helen's on that sweet summer night
C Em A
And we flipped a coin to see
C Em A
Who would have to knock when she
D
Opened up her door,
C Em A
and asked us in...
[chorus]
D N.C.
Helen of Troy, Pennsylvania
[Hook 2]
D D D D
[Verse 2]
D
She was twice the age of me and Tony
D
Brown eyed, recently divorced, and lonely
D A
And we lied about our high school football team
C Em G D
Number one in the state because of Tony and me
C Em A
And she sensed our awkwardness
C Em A
And unzipped her calico dress
D
And called us over to kiss her
C Em A
One at a time (one at a time boys, can you hear me)
[chorus]
D N.C.
Helen of Troy, Pennsylvania
[Hook 2]
D D D D
[Verse 3]
D
Well we rocked to the drone of large mosquitoes
D
Rhythm of moths against drumhead screen
D
Syncopation of Frigidaire motor
C A
With her bobtail cat looking at us, real mean
[chorus]

[Solo]
[Bridge]
D
She went to the kitchen, to get us something to drink
D
And me and Tony washed ourselves in the bathroom sink
D
Doin' the chicken-neck, the high-five, and the monkey noise
[Outro]
C Em A D
Glad to be happy, healthy, heterosexual boys
C Em A
And we drank her herbal tea (red zinger I do believe)
N.C.
And good golly miss molly-ed all the way home
