C                          G
Who killed the eskimos who understood the rules of happiness?
Am                Dm
One step up the hedonic treadmill
Am                   Dm             G7
One slip back on the ugly snakeskin

[Verse 2]
C                          G
Who raped the great banana growing on the tree of happiness?
Am                Dm
One point for the dark Satanic mills
Am            Dm            G7
One up on the noble savage

[Verse 3]
C
Everything we need is here
G
Stop trying to succeed
Am                Dm
One point for the dark Satanic Mills
Am               Dm            G7
One down for the noble savage

[Verse 4]
C
Who owns the pop machine
G
The polyester seed?
Am           Dm
Who owns the pepper mills that
Am           Dm        G7
Spice up the prickly cabbage?

[Chorus 1]
F           C             Dm                   Em
Down by the willow tree I joined you where you fell
F                 C             Dm            E
You said, staring at the sky, I never knew it was that high
F              C                 Dm           Em
Don't know you very well, you're just another girl
F               C              Dm              E
Never mind, you stupid cow , I wish you hadn't said that now

[Verse 5]
C
Down by the willow tree
        G
There's nothing that could make us happier
Am                Dm
One step up the hedonic treadmill
Am                   Dm            G7
One slip back on the ugly snakeskin

[Verse 6]
C
Stop trying to succeed
     G
Stop running round your human hamster wheel
Am                Dm
One point for the dark Satanic mills
Am            Dm         G7
One up on the noble savage

[Verse 7]
C                             
Who drank the pussy milk 
    G
Who bunged the chalk in the frigid buttercup?
Am                Dm
One step up the hedonic treadmill
Am                   Dm          G7
One slip back on the ugly snakeskin

[Verse 8]
    C                           G
And just exactly how long do we have to wait for the trees
Am               Dm
To chop the Nazi axes up?
    Am              Dm      G7
And help the frigid buttercup

[Verse 9]
C
Weep me and I'll weep you back
    G
The willow seemed to say
Am             Dm
Swing with the Goodiepal
Am           Dm            G7
Race Pat Pat off the rocks

[Chorus 2]
F           C             Dm                   Em
Down by the willow tree I joined you where you fell
F                 C             Dm            E
You said, staring at the sky, I never knew it was that high
F              C                 Dm           Em
Don't know you very well, you're just another girl
F               C              Dm              E
Never mind, you stupid cow , I wish you hadn't said that now
