Ev ’ry where is

dykes and fair ies;

tell me where is e (Em)san i ty?

Tax the rich, ny,

feed the poor, ny,

till there are no

(Em)Mo nop o ly!

I’d (Em)love to change the world,

but I don’t know what to (Em)do,

so I’ll leave it (B)up to (Em)you.

Pop u la tion

keeps on breed ing,

still more feed ing e (Em)con o my.

Life is fun ny,

skies are sun ny,

bees make hon ey,

(B5)who needs mon ey?

(Em)Mo nop o ly!

I’d (Em)love to change the world,

but I don’t know what to (Em)do,

so I’ll leave it (B)up to (Em)you.

World pol lu tion,

there’s no sol u tion,

in sti tu tion,

e (B5)lec tro cu tion,

just black and white,

rich or poor,

them and us,

we’ll (B5)stop the war.
