[Verse 1]
F#            C#
  Wake up you sleepy head
D#sus4                         D#m
Put   on some clothes, shake up   your bed
F#                         C#
Put another log on the fire  for me
G#                                D#
  I've made some breakfast and coffee
F#                 C#
Look out my window what do I see
A#7
Crack in the sky
      D#m     F#7           B
and a hand reaching down to me
        G#7               C#
All the nightmares came today
And it looks as though they're
 
 
[Break]
    F#       Cdim C# A#7 D# A#7 Fsus4 F
here  to stay
 
 
[Verse 2]
F#            C#
  What are we coming to
D#sus4                   D#m
No    room for me, no fun   for you
F#                C#
  I think about a world to come
          G#                      D#
Where the books were found by the Golden ones
F#               C#
Written in pain, written in awe
   A#7                D#m
By a  puzzled man who questioned
F#7     B
What we were here for
        G#7              C#
All the strangers came today
       C#7                         F#
And it looks as though they're here  to stay
 
 
[Chorus]
F#     A#m
Oh You Pretty Things
D#m              C#
   Don't you know  you're driving your
B7                    F#
Mamas and Papas insane
       A#m
Oh You Pretty Things
D#m              C#
   Don't you know  you're driving your
B7                    F#
Mamas and Papas insane
       G#7
Let me make it plain
C#                         B            F#
You gotta make way for the Homo Superior
 
 
[Verse 3]
        C#
Look at your children
D#sus4                      D#m
      See their faces in golden rays
F#                          C#
  Don't kid yourself they belong to you
G#                       D#
  They're the start of a coming race
    F#
The earth is a bitch
      C#
We've finished our news
A#7             D#m          F#7         B
   Homo Sapiens have outgrown   their use
        G#7              C#
All the strangers came today
       C#7                         F#
And it looks as though they're here  to stay
 
 
[Chorus]
F#     A#m
Oh You Pretty Things
D#m              C#
   Don't you know  you're driving your
B7                    F#
Mamas and Papas insane
       A#m
Oh You Pretty Things
D#m              C#
   Don't you know  you're driving your
B7                    F#
Mamas and Papas insane
       G#7
Let me make it plain

You gotta make way for the Homo Superior

to see the lyrics Oh You Pretty Things
                  Wake up you sleepy head
Put on some clothes, shake up your bed
Put another log on the fire for me
I've made some breakfast and coffee

I look out my window, what do I see?
A crack in the sky and a hand reaching down to me
All the nightmares came today
And it looks as though they're here to stay

Oh, you pretty things (oh, you pretty things)
Don't you know you're driving your
Mamas and papas insane
Oh, you pretty things (oh, you pretty things)
Don't you know you're driving your
Mamas and papas insane

Let me make it plain
You gotta make way for the homo superior
One, two

Oh, you pretty things (oh, you pretty things)
Don't you know you're driving your
Mamas and papas insane
Oh, you pretty things (oh, you pretty things)
Don't you know you're driving your
Mamas and papas insane

Let me make it plain
You gotta make way for the homo superior
