Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
I've [C]got bad [Cm]news baby,
[G]and[F] you're the first [Cm]to know[C]
Yes I've [F]got bad news [B]baby,
[F]an d you're the [G]first [C]to know[Em][C]
[F]Well I discov[Dm]ered thi[F]s morning that my
wig is about to [C]blow[F][C]
[F]

[Verse 2]
Well [C]I've been rocking [G]on my feet an
[F]d I've been talking all [Cm]out of my head
[F]Yes I've been rocking on my feet and I've
been talking all out [C]of [G]my head[C][Em]
An[F]d when [Dm]I get [F]through talking,
I [G]can't [C]remem[Em]ber a [F]thing I've [C]said[F][G]
Now I [C]used to [F]be a [C]sharpie

[Verse 3]
All dressed in the latest [F]styles[Eb]
[F]But [C]now I'm [F]walking down Broadway
[C]Wearing nothing but a smile
[F]I see all kinds of little men
Although they're never [Eb]there
[F]I tried [C]to push a subway train
And poured whiskey in [G]my hair
[F]I'm a gal who blew a fuse,
I've got those [C]blowtop blues[Em][F][G][C]
Last night I was five feet [F]tall,[Eb]

[Verse 4]
[F]
Today I'm [C]eight feet [F]ten[Eb]
[F]Every time I [C]fall down[F]stairs,
I float right up [G]again
[Am]When [F]someone turned the lights
on me it like to drove me blind
[C]I woke up this morning in Bellevue but
I've left my [F]mind behind
[Dm]I'm a gal [F]you can't excuse,
[G]cause I've [C]got [F]those blowtop blues[G][Eb][Cm][G][F]
[Am]Well

[Verse 5]
[F]I g[C]ot h[Cm]igh last night,
[F]an d I took my man to his wife's [C]front [F]door[C]
Yes [F]I got juiced last night and I took
my man to his wife's [C]front [G]door[C]
Oh [F]but she was a 45- packin' mama,
[C]and I ain't goin' to try that no more!
[Em][F][C]
