Chorus:
    C               F       C
Put any old name on any old rhyme
                           G7
Just to keep those nickles supplied
     C              F          C
Pretty soon, how to be, upside down
                    G7           C
Laying in the sun, middle of the ground

  C                         F         C
Elevate the mantle, and the money did too
                              G7            C
And the fox wouldn't tell them color of that tune
