Intro: C 

verse 1 
        C 
I spent 6 hours watching TV 
F 
Antiques and Jeremy 
     C                 G 
Till 4 in the afternoon 
        C 
When my mother came in 
           F 
Said "it's wearing pretty thin, 
        C            G           C 
Son you better get a fucking job soon" 
        C 
And I went on to the internet 
   F 
To see what jobs I could get 
C                             G 
Just to keep my mother satisfied 
         C 
But with my degree in aviation 
    F 
For every single occupation 
C               G         C 
I felt somewhat over qualified 
C 
Then I saw in the corner of the screen 
F 
Someone had sent a message to me 
C                              G 
They put certain characters in bold 
C 
I cried tears as I read 
         F 
Every single word they said 
C         G             C 
All of my problems were solved 


       F 
I said "don't worry mother 
    C 
Cos I got this email 
          G                      Am 
From that prince of some country somewhere 
            F 
He said his plan could never fail 
     C 
I'll give him all my bank details 
          G              C 
And he'll make me a millionaire" 

verse 2 
     C 
Next morning I was so excited 
  F 
I pissed myself didn't try to hide it 
      C                          G 
I had pound signs gleaming in my eyes 
     C 
But I went on down to Savile Row 
   F 
To buy myself a suit of gold 
         C        G            C 
But they only had silver in my size 

           C 
I thought what should I do with all this money 
F 
   Oh lord wouldn't it be funny 
     C                          G 
If I bought myself a brand new limousine 
   C 
So I went down to the limousine shop 
F 
Asked the salesman "what you got?" 
        C           G               C 
He just stood there staring back at me 

         C 
He said "I'm sorry sir we're closing down 
F 
No one can afford limousines in this town 
    C                                       G 
I'm broke I'm bankrupt I'll have to sell my kids" 
        C 
I said "don't sell your children 
  F 
I think I can save them 
C        G              C 
Come and take a look at this" 


              F 
I said "don't worry Mr salesman 
    C 
Cos I got this email 
           G                         Am 
From that prince of some country somewhere 
            F 
He said his plan could never fail 
     C 
I'll give him all my bank details 
          G                     C 
And he'll make us both millionaires" 

Bridge 
C 
Well me and the limousine salesman were whistling Dixie at this point 
                                      C 
Talking about our suits of solid gold 

verse 3 
    C 
And suddenly out of the blue 
   F 
We saw ourselves a hippie or two 
    C                              G 
And they were protesting about the war 
    C 
We followed them down to Number 10 
    F 
Trafalgar Square then back again 
    C                G             C 
And then we started banging at the door 

        C 
We said "come on David speak to us 
      F 
We're tired and we're pissed off 
  C                      G 
Some of us are moving to France 
    C 
And finally he showed his face 
    F 
And after him in second place 
     C                 G        C 
Came Nick Clegg on his Game-boy Advance 

Bridge 
        C                                        
I said "how you doing Nick? What level you on?" 
              C 
He said "level 5" 
                                C 
I said "what game you playing Nick? 
             C 
He said "Tetris" 
N.C. 
I said "level 5s pretty easy to get to on Tetris Nick" 

verse 4 
    C 
And then from the crowd 
F 
There came a shout 
    C                   G 
And everybody turned to look 
           C 
And in the middle of the humdrum 
    F 
Was David Cameron's mum 
C              G          C 
Standing there shaking her hook 

Bridge 
         G 
She said "David what you doing? 
     G 
The country's in meltdown 
    G                           G 
I'm buying all my knickers from Primark 
    Am 
The people are rioting 
    Em 
The high streets are empty 
    F                   G 
The country is going to shit" 


               F 
And David said "don't worry mother 
    C 
Cos I got this email 
          G                          Am 
From that prince of some country somewhere 
            F 
He said his plan could never fail 
     C 
I'll give him all our bank details 
          G                  C 
And he'll make us all millionaires"
