Am G Am G Am G
Not everyone in New York would pay to see Andrew Lloyd Webber
Am G Am G Am G
May his trousers fall down as he bows to the queen and the crown
F
I don't know what tune that the orchestra played
D G E
But it went by me sickly and sentimental
Am D/F#*
Can I have another piece of chocolate cake
G
Tammy Baker's got a lot on her plate
Am D/F#
Can I buy another cheap Picasso fake
G
Andy Warhol must be laughing in his grave
Am G (x 4)
The band of the night take you to ethereal heights over dinner
You wander the streets never reaching the heights that you seek
And the sugar that dripped from the violins bow
Made the children go crazy, put a hole in the tooth of a hag
Can I have another piece of chocolate cake
Tammy Baker must be losing her faith
Can I buy another cheap Picasso fake
Andy Warhol must be laughing in his grave
Am
And the dogs are on the road
D
We're all tempting fate
Am
Cars are shooting by
D
With no number plates
E
And here comes Mrs. Hairy Legs
(Chords under harmonica solo) Am G
I saw Elvis Presley walk out of a Seven Eleven
And a woman gave birth to a baby and then bowled 257
The excess of fat on your American bones
Will cushion the impact as you sink like a stone
Can I have another piece of chocolate cake
Tammy Baker, Tammy Baker ...
Can I buy another cheap Picasso fake
Cheap Picasso, cheap Picasso fake
Can I have another piece of chocolate cake
Kathy Straker, boy could she lose some weight
Can I buy another slice of real estate
Am G D/F# F
Liberace must be laughing in his grave
E A E A E A (repeat to fade)
Can I have another piece of chocolate cake

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official CROWDED HOUSE tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
