Intro: G G C C D D
G G C C D
{G}Mr Jones he has a little problem
C If I had eyes I'd see that it was me
{D}he's the size of a man with the potential of a boy
not what G God had meant a child of His to be
i'm afraid that he'll amount to all of nothing
the {C}joy of reading {D}Yeats he'll never {G}know
and in the {C}rat race {D}twirl
of our comp{G}uter guided world
{D}he stands no chance of winning
let alone to place or show so
{C}Lock him up and {D}throw away the {G}key boys
{C}Mr. Jones is {D}not like you or {G}me
{C}lock him up {D}tight
cause if he {Em}had the chance he might
{Am}show us that we're wrong
and that's the D one thing we can't be
{G}oh no {C}ooooh D noooooo
