G
Jehosaphat the mongrel cat
G                     C
Jumped off the roof today
C                    G
Some say he fell but I could tell
    D7           G
He did himself away
G
His eyes weren't bright like they were the night
G                           C
We played checkers on the train
C                             G
God Bless his soul he was a tootsie roll
            D7                 G
But he's a dead cat just the same

Chorus:
        C              G
We are living in the future
      C               G
I'll tell you how I know
    C              G
I read it in the paper
D7             G
Fifteen years ago
C                    G
We're all driving rocket ships
     C                 G
And talking with our minds
     C                  G
And wearing turquoise jewelry
     D7                G
And standing in soup lines
       D7                G
We are standing in soup lines


G
Jake the barber's lonely daughter
G                         C
Went down to her daddy's shop
C                           G
She plugged herself to a barber pole
     D7                    G
And took a little off the top
  G
Pressure on the left. Pressure on the right
 G                             C 
Pressure in the middle of the hole
     C                     G
I'm goin' to Maine on a forty foot crane
           D7                   G
I'm gonna use it for a fishin' pole


Repeat Chorus:

 G                
Old Sarah Brown sells tickets down
 G                        C
At the all night picture show
C                                   G
Where they grind out sex and they rate it with an "X"
         D7                       G
Just to make a young man's pants grow
   G
No tops no bottoms just hands and feet
  G                        C
Screaming the posters out on the street
 C                       G
Strangling the curious and the weak
    D7                          G
We give them what they wanna see
         D7                        G
Yeah we give 'em what they wanna see - O
