[Intro]
G D7 G D7
| / / / | / / / | / / / | / / / |
[Verse 1]
G E7 Am7
Leopold Alcocks, my distant re - lation,
D7 G
Came to my flat, for a brief visi - tation,
D7 G E7 Am7
He's been here since Februa - ry, damn and blast him,
D7 G G
My nerves, and my furniture, may not out - last him!
^ ^
[Verse 2]
C Bm7 Am7 Bm7
Leopold Alcocks is accident prone,
E7 Am7 D7 G
He's lost my bathplug, he's ruptured my telephone,
D7 C Bm7 Am7 Bm7
My anti - rrhinums, my motorbikes, my sofa,
E7 Am7 D7 G G
There isn't anything he can't trip o - ver!
^ ^
[Verse 3]
G D7 G E7 Am7
As he roams through my rooms, all my pussycats scatter,
D7 G
My statuettes tremble, then plummet, then shatter,
D7 G E7 Am7
My tablelamps tumble with grim regu - larity,
D7 G G
My cut-glass has crumbled, and so has my chari - ty!
^ ^
[Verse 4]
C Bm7 Am7 Bm7
Leopold Alcocks, an uncanny creature,
E7 Am7 D7 G
He can't take tea without some misad - venture,
Ddim C Bm7 Am7 Bm7
He looks up from his teacup, with a smirk on his features,
E7 Am7 D7 G
And a slice of my porcelain between his dentures!
[Verse 5]
G D7 G E7 Am7
He's upset my goldfish, he's jinxed my wis - teria,
D7 G
My budgie's gone broody, my tortoise has hys - teria,
D7 G E7 Am7
He cleans my teapots, my saucepans, with 'Brasso',
D7 G G
And leaves chocolate fingerprints on my Pi - cas - so!
^ ^
[Verser 6]
C Bm7 Am7 Bm7
Leopold Alcocks, never known to fail,
E7 Am7 D7 G
Working his way through my fake 'Chippen - dales',
C Bm7 Am7 Bm7
One blow from his thighs, which are fearsomely strong,
E7 Am7 D7 G
Would easily fracture the wing of a swan!
[Verse 7]
G D7 G E7 Am7
I brought home my bird for some Turkish mous - saka,
D7 G
Up looms old Leopold, I know when I'm knackered,
D7 G E7 Am7
He spills the vino, the great eager beaver,
D7 G
Drenching her jump-suit and my 'joie de vivre'!
[Verse 8]
C Bm7 Am7 Bm7
Leopold Alcocks, stirring my spleen,
E7 Am7 D7 G
You are the grit in my life's 'Vasel -ine',
C Bm7 Am7 Bm7
A pox on you, Alcocks, you've been here since Feb'ry,
E7 Am7 D7 G
Go home and leave me a - lone with my debris!
[Break]
G D7 G D7
| / / / | / / / | / / / | / / / |
[Verse 9]
G E7 Am7
So Leopold Alcocks, my distant re - lation,
D7 G
Has gone away home, after his visi - tation,
D7 G E7 Am7
I glimpsed him waving bye -bye this last minute,
D7 G G
Waving his hand, with my door knob still in it!
