As I was walking down rubadub square

-Like other girls-

Rap Verse:
A
It was the summer of love, and I thank the stars above
B
Because the woman took the lovin' over me
A
And just to gain her trust, I bought a microbus
B
Because I sold up all my personal property
AEA tight tie-dyed dress, she was a psychedelic mess
AE
We toured to the north, south, east and west
AE
We sold some mushroom tea, we sold some ecstasy
AE
We sold nitrous, opium, acid, heroin and PCP
B
And now I hear the police coming after me
B
Yes, now I hear the police coming after me
B
The one Scarlet, with the flowers in her hair
B
She's got the police coming after me
Verse 3:
EB
Well, there ain't nothing wrong with the way she moves

All scarlet begonias and a touch of the blues
AEAE
And there ain't nothin' wrong with the love that's in her eye
AEAE
I had to learn the hard way just to let her pass by
B
Let her pass by
BB
Oh, just to let her pass by
