(Capo 2)
C 31023x
[G]When you're scoring with a chick in a [D]disco [G]bar,
[C]Take her home in your [Em]hairy little car,
Then you [G]find you went to [B7]school with her [Em]ma and [C]pa,
You're the [G]oldest swinger in [D]town.
[G]When you won't look in the mirror in the [D]light of [G]day,
[C]Swear you've dyed it when your [Em]hair turns grey,
When you [G]zip up your [B7]trousers and your [Em]belly's in the [C]way,
You're the [G]oldest [D]swinger in [G]town.
C G
Here you come and there you go,
A? D
White wheels, spots, and a stereo,
[G]But the engine is [B7]clapped and the [Em]driver al[C]so,
You're the [G]oldest [D]swinger in [G]town.
[G]The barber takes a little less [D]time each [G]week,
[C]The kids don't understand a [Em]word you speak,
When you [G]walk into a [B7]disco and they [Em]offer you a [C]seat,
You're the [G]oldest swinger in [D]town.
[G]You prefer a pint of shandy to [D]Bacardi and [G]Coke,
[C]The sounds are too loud and there's [Em]too much smoke,
[G]You'd like another [B7]dance, but you're [Em]afraid you'll get a [C]stroke,
You're the [G]oldest [D]swinger in [G]town.

C G
Here you come with your chest all bare,
[A]A little gold ingot and a [D]lot of gold hair,
[G]Like the disco [B7]king meets [Em]Yogi [C]Bear,
You're the [G]oldest [D]swinger in [G]town.
[G]When you're feeling as stiff as a [D]skinhead's [G]boot,
[C]Rub on Vick's where you [Em]used to splash Brut,
And the [G]latest punk [B7]fashion is your [Em]wedding [C]suit,
You're the [G]oldest swinger in [D]town.
[G]When you have to go shopping for your [D]sex ap[G]peal,
[C]Travolta's shades and [Em]nine inch heels,
They say a [G]man is just as [B7]old as the [Em]woman he [C]feels,
You're the [G]oldest [D]swinger in [G]town.
C G
Here you come with your lips closed tight,
[A]You never smile, you know it [D]wouldn't look right,
Cause your [G]dentures [B7]glow in ultra[Em]violet [C]light,
You're the [G]oldest swinger in [D]town.
[B7]oldest swinger in [Em]town,[C]
[G]And you look so [B7]mean because your [Em]pants are too [C]tight,
You're the [G]oldest swinger in [D]town.
And it [G]takes you all [B7]night,
To do what you [Em]used to do all [C]night,
You're the [G]oldest [D]swinger in [G]town.
Figured this one out by ear in honour of me bruvvah Pom! ;)
(Good laugh fer an open mic night)
RIP Fred.
