C       D  D(sus4)                       (Riff over) E7 A7 E7
Didn't make her --- with my Baker Street Ruse.
E          D  D(sus4)                      (Riff over) E7 A7 E7
Couldn't shake her --- with my Baker Street Bruise.
E          D  D     D(sus4)                 (Riff over) E7 A7 E7
Like to take her --- but I'm just a Baker Street Muse.
 

REST THE SAME.......
Ale-spew, puddle-brew --- boys, throw it up clean.

Coke and Bacardi colours them green.

From the typing pool goes the mini-skirted princess

  with great finesse.

Fertile earth-mother, your burial mound is fifty feet

  down in the Baker Street underground. (What the hell!)

Walking down the gutter thinking,

  ``How the hell am I today?''

Well, I didn't really ask you but thanks all the same
