SONG: Timeless To Me
ARTIST: Marc Shaiman & Scott Wittman
From the musical, Hairspray
Intro:
Styles keep a changin'
Gdim7(#5) Gdim7
The world's re arrangin'
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
Ab7(#9)/E
Just gettin' riper with age
You're like a fatal disease, babe
But there's no cure
B13(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
Ebm7(b5)
Cause when i need a lift
Time brings a gift
Another day with you
A twist or a waltz
It's all the same schmaltz
D9(#11)
With just a change in the scenery
You'll never be old hat
G9(#11) F#m7
That's that!
B7(b9)
You're timeless to me
Fads keep a fadin'
D#dim7(#5) D#dim7
Castro's invading!
But wilbur, you're timeless to me
Hairdos are higher
Mine feels like barbed wire
But you say i'm chic as can be!
C9(#5)
You're like a rare vintage ripple
E(#9)/C
A vintage they'll never forget
So pour me a teeny weenie triple
Ab9(#5) G13(b9)
And we can toast the fact we ain't dead yet!
I can't stop eating
Your hairline's receding
Soon there'll be nothing at all
Bm7(b5)
So, you'll wear a wig
E7(b9)
While i roast a pig
Hey! Pass that geritol
Glenn Miller had class
That Chubby Checker's a gas
Bb9(#11)
But they all pass eventually
You'll never be passe
Hip hooray!
G7(b9) C6
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
A9(#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
C#m7(b5)
And it's plain to see
That you're stuck with me
Until the bitter end
And we got a kid
Who's blowin' the lid
C9(#11)
Off the Turnblad family tree
You'll always hit the spot
F9(#11) Em7
Big shot!
You're timeless to me
You'll always be du jour
F9(#11) Em7
Mon amour
You're timeless to me
You'll always be first string
F9(#11) Em7
Ring a ding ding!
You're timeless to me
You're timeless to me
You're timeless to me
You're timeless to me!!
