Em | G | Em
Oh, did you see him standing in the street

He's running round with all the boys, oh thats him, hmmm, big thighs
| G | Em | G | Em
Creepy, creepy in the dark, shiny, shiny Joan of Arc,
| G | Em | G |Em|G|Em|G|Em
When the moonlight starts its glow, cold hard Helen, Queen of Troy
| G | Em | G | Em
She got charisma, got thunderstorms, like a baby, never been born
| G | Em | G | Em
She got mammon, mammon in disguise, in the cold rooms of her eyes
A G A7 Em A G A7 Em
Oh, Helen of Troy Oh, Helen of Troy Oh, Helen of Troy Oh, Helen of Troy
| G | Em | G | Em
Oh look at him, inn't he gorgeous, such big thighs, all oiled and mine
| G | Em | G | Em
Listen, it's got to go, I want him in my arms to stay
| G | Em | G | Em
Big fat mama done me wrong, left me hanging all alone
| G | Em
But that bitch is as old, is as old, is as old
| G | Em
's that dirty old crone right out there in the cold
A G A7 Em A G A7 Em
Oh, Helen of Troy Oh, Helen of Troy Oh, Helen of Troy Oh, Helen of Troy

I don't wanna be, your banshee boy, baying like the hounds of Troy

Standing there from under the lights, your eyes shining bright
| G | Em | G | Em
I want you all of the time, fill me with awe, all of the time
| G | Em | G | Em
Lubricate me, don't hate me
Note: The trick to this song is to strike the F# note on the bass E string
when transitioning between Em & G chords. The point at which this
occurs is indicated with a '|' . Not sure of all the lyrics!
