Verse 2:
I went into
a shop
Bought a loaf of bread
I sunk my teeth into
it
Thought I'd busted my
head
Oh, I dashed to the
dentist
Hey, hey, I got an
awful pain, yeah
This man looks in my
mouth and screams
This boy's insane
Imagine my surprise
Thought I'd left it at
home, yeah
There's a lump in my
mouth of my
Own tombstone

(abbreviated verse:
piano solo over first four lines; guitar solo
from "Imagine
my surprise" onward)
Verse 3:
I went in to see
a movie
Got the only empty
seat
I tried to stretch out
in it
Something blockin' my
feet
Finally the lights
came up
And I could clearly
see
A slab of engraved
marble
Just starin' up at me
Imagine my surprise
I thought I'd left it
at home
There's no doubt I'm
sittin on my
Em Am
Em [end cold]
