Inside every teenage girl there's a fountain 
F#m                              E 
Inside every young pair of pants there's a mountain 
Bm                               E                         A                       F#m 
Inside every mother's eyes is Tommy Tinkrem's bed

I make it a thing, when I'm on my own to relieve myself

I make it a thing, to glance in window panes and look pleased with myself 
A                             F#                          (Bm) 
Yeah, and pretend I'm walking home

Took me a fag, and a kick in the moon

It's a matter of life, And the way you walk, you've got a BrylCream queen

It's a matter of tact , In the things you talk, that keeps his passport clean 
Bm                            F#                           E                        E
