Utopia - Hoi Polloi

      Hoi Polloi

D                       F#m7
We've been invited to a cocktail party
A                  Bb C
Over by the palace wa-a-ll
D                                 F#m7
I've not been dressed up since my graduation
A                      D C#
Haven't been around at all

Bm                                   G
Look what happens when you reach the top
                        Bm
The whole world is your oyster
                       A
You walk 'round like a bleeding fop

Chorus:
E                       Amaj7
Meet me outside the curiosity shop
E                G6
No need to bring money
A              D
Life can be so funny
            G                       C      A
When you're hangin' around with the hoi polloi

The countess wipes her nose upon her sleeve
Doesn't think that we can see
The duke of astinbury has to leave
He's afraid to dance with me

Look what happens when you've got it made
Everyone respects us
No more mingling with the local trade

Chorus

As the hostess checks the sky for rain
Her fifteen year old daughter
Drives the patriarchal letch insane

Chorus

F                 C              Bb        Bbm
We'll be hangin' around with the hoi polloi   (repeat)
