(CN.C.)It’s a priv i lege to (Cm)pee.
(Cm)Wa ter’s (G7)worth its (Cm)weight in gold, these days.
I No more (G)bath rooms (Cm)like the old en days.
I You come here and (Cm)pay a (Cm)fee
and for the (G7)priv i lege (Cm)to pee.
(CN.C.)Twen ty years we’ve had the (Cm)drought,
(Cm)and our (G7)res er (Cm)voirs have all dried up.
I take my (G)baths now (Cm)in a cof fee cup.
I boil what’s left of (Cm)it for (Cm)tea,
and it’s a (G7)priv i lege (Cm)to pee.
(CN.C.)Twen ty years we’ve had the (Cm)pee!
The (Cm)pol (G)i (Cm)ti cians (Cm)in their (Fm7)wis dom saw that there should (G7)be a law.
The (Cm)pol (G7)i (Cm)ti cians (Cm)taxed the (Fm7)toi lets, and made il (Cm)le gal pub lic u ri (D)na tion
and def e (Cm)ca tion.
So, come and give your coins to (Cm)me.
Write your name here in the (Cm)rec ord book.
The au thor i ties will (Cm)want to look
if you’ve been reg u lar with (Cm)me,
if you’ve paid the prop er (Cm)fee
(CN.C.)for the priv i lege to (Cm)pee.
(CN.C.)You think you’ve got some kind of right?
(CN.C.)You think you’ll come in here and go for free?
(CN.C.)On ly thing you’ll get is “no” for free!
(CN.C.)I’m a bus ’ness gal, you (Cm)see.
I sell the (Fm)priv i lege to (C5)pee!
The (Cm)good (Fm6)Lord (Cm)made us so we’d (Fm)piss each day,
un til we (G)piss a way.
The (Cm)good (Fm)Lord (Cm)made sure that what (Fm7)goes in men
must soon come (Cm)out a gain,
