Okay, let's just set the scene in a hospital.   
Mip... mip... mip...   
Frankel the mouse is there, on the bed.   
Mip... mip... mip...   
 
 
Riff       
I've forgotten everything,   
Riff 
In my little mouse-sized bin.   
Riff 
In a county hospital,   
Riff (to C)                  C 
With a tiny bandage round my head.   
                  D             C 
You've just got a broken ankle,   
         F              Riff 
Snap out of it, Frankel.   
Riff 
Images are coming back to me,   
Riff 
When I close my eyes I see.   
Riff 
How I got my injury,   
Riff(to C)                 C 
Cause I attempted beastiality.   
                   D                  C 
Frankel, it's your past you're seeing,   
                 F               Em 
You tried making love to a human being.   
 
 
E                  A                     B 
  Frankie, all the things you could have been,   
                A           E 
That it's now impossible to be.   
                 A            B 
Now you'll never realise your dream,   
              A               B     A  B     Am

Gatesy:  (Playing air guitar) Ne-ne-ne-ne-nl, ne-ne-ne-ne-nl...   
   Ne-ne-ne-ne-nl, neoww...   
   Nl-nl-nl-nl-nl-nl... two handed... nl-nl-nl-nl-nl...

Scod:  Yeah, but there's usually an instrument!   
Gatesy:  That's true, there is.   
       
Riff 
Now I'm back in walking therapy,   
Riff 
And they're saying, "Bend your knee, Katie, bend your knee".   
Riff 
But my name is not Katie,   
Riff 
And I'll never throw a fuckin' frisbee.   
C               D                 
Luke Skywalker, look at him,   
C                 F                   Em 
He saved the galaxy with a prosthetic limb.   
E                A                     B 
Frankie, all the things you could have been,
