A couple of kids out in the cold

A world class myth is growing here

The wankers whisper and pass the beer

There were to guitarists strumming into space

Spreading that message all over the place

And General Robert E. Lee 
  Am      F  C E       Am           F    C E 
Tell it on TV - on Charlie Chaplin?s knee  
    Am                  F 
I'm around the world in 80 days 
     C                   Em           Am
