ARTIST: Marc Shaiman & Scott Wittman
From the musical, Hairspray
Intro:
/
B13#9
Styles keep a changin
Gdim7(#5) Gdim7
The world s re arrangin
Bdim7 / Fdim7
But Edna, you re timeless to me
Hemlines are shorter
/
A beer costs a quarter
But time cannot take what comes free
You re like a stinky old cheese, babe
(#9)/
Just gettin riper with age
You re like a fatal disease, babe
But there s no cure
+ (b9)
So let this fever rage
Some folks can t stand it
Gdim7(#5)
Say time is a bandit
But i take the opposite view
(b5)
Cause when i need a lift
Time brings a gift
Another day with you
A twist or a waltz
A#dim7
It s all the same schmaltz
/ (#11)
With just a change in the scenery
You ll never be old hat
(#11)
That s that!
(b9)
You re timeless to me
Fads keep a fadin
D#dim7(#5) D#dim7
Castro s invading!
Gdim7
But wilbur, you re timeless to me
Gdim7
Hairdos are higher
Cdim7/
Mine feels like barbed wire
But you say i m chic as can be!
(#5)
You re like a rare vintage ripple
(#9)/
A vintage they ll never forget
So pour me a teeny weenie triple
(#5) (b9)
And we can toast the fact we ain t dead yet!
I can t stop eating
G#7/D#
Your hairline s receding
Soon there ll be nothing at all
(b5)
So, you ll wear a wig
(b9)
While i roast a pig
Gm7Gm11
Hey! Pass that geritol
Glenn Miller had class
F#dim7
That Chubby Checker s a gas
/ Baug7 (#11)
But they all pass eventually
You ll never be passe
Hip hooray!
(b9)
You re timeless to me
+
You re like a broken down chevy
+ /
All you need is a fresh coat of paint
And Edna, you got me goin hot and heavy
(#5)
You re fat and old, but baby, boring you ain t!
Some folks don t get it
/
But we never fret it
Cause we know that time is our friend
(b5)
And it s plain to see
That you re stuck with me
Edim7
Until the bitter end
/
And we got a kid
G#dim7
Who s blowin the lid
/ + (#11)
Off the Turnblad family tree
You ll always hit the spot
(#11)
Big shot!
You re timeless to me
/
You ll always be du jour
(#11)
Mon amour
You re timeless to me
/
You ll always be first string
(#11)
Ring a ding ding!
You re timeless to me
You re timeless to me
You re timeless to me
You re timeless to me!!
