[Verse 1]
        F                 G7/F
        Your multilingual     business friend
        Bb/F                     F
        Has packed her bags and fled
        F                       G7/F
        Leaving only ash-filled ashtrays
                Bb/F               F
        And the lipsticked unmade bed
             Dm          Gm
        The mirror, a reflection
             F/C                   C
        Has climbed back upon the wall
        F                          G7/F
        For the floor she found descended
        Bb/F                     F
        And the ceiling was too tall

[Chorus]
               F                Bb
        Your trouser cuffs are dirty
                   G                  C
        And your shoes are laced up wrong
               A7                   Dm      F/C
        You'd better take off your homburg
                     Bb              F
        'Cause your overcoat is too long

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
      F                       G7/F
        The town clock in the market square
          Bb/F                   F
        Stands waiting for the hour
          F                              G7/F
        When its hands they won't turn backwards
          G7/F   Bb/F           F
        And on meeting will devour
          F    Dm                  Gm
        Both themselves and also any fool
          Gm  F/C               C
        Who dares to tell the time
          F                         G7/F
        And the sun and moon will shatter
          Bb/F                       F
        And the signposts cease to sign

[Chorus]
               F                Bb
        Your trouser cuffs are dirty
                   G                  C
        And your shoes are laced up wrong
               A7                   Dm      F/C
        You'd better take off your homburg
                     Bb              F
        'Cause your overcoat is too long

[Interlude]
        | F       | F7/Eb   | Dm  G7/B | C   C7  |

[Chorus]
               F                Bb
        Your trouser cuffs are dirty
                   G                  C
        And your shoes are laced up wrong
               A7                   Dm      F/C
        You'd better take off your homburg
                     Bb              F
        'Cause your overcoat is too long

[Chorus]
               F                Bb
        Your trouser cuffs are dirty
                   G                  C
        And your shoes are laced up wrong
               A7                   Dm      F/C
        You'd better take off your homburg
                     Bb              F
        'Cause your overcoat is too long
