I've Still Got You
------------------
/
words & music by Petrea Mitchell
Am Dm
They ordered me to move my lab into the gloomy deep;
Am Dm
They put me out of mind and out of sight.
Am Dm
Those cretins in the higher ranks don't wish to hear my plans,
Am E
So they won't hear 'til it's too late to fight.
Dm Am
For I've still got my tools and wits, I still have my grants,
E
And time will see repayment of their slight.
Dm Am
And I've still got you, booby, I've still got you.
E
'Tis such delight to hear you cry
Am E
As each experiment goes by!
Dm Am
They say nothing lasts forever, and I've surely learned it's
true,
Dm Am
But I've still got you, booby, I've still got you.
One day, I found my partner'd gone, not even left a note.
He'd disappeared as if into thin air.
The higher-ups just yawned a bit, and sent a trainee down,
A man without the sense God gave a chair.
But I've still got you, booby, I've still got you.
Such joy intrudes into my heart
To see your mind falling apart!
They say nothing lasts forever, and I've surely learned it's
true,
But I've still got you, booby, I've still got you.
Who knows what future days may hold? For me-- I cannot tell.
For you-- ah, there's the source of all my mirth.
They can take away my funds, my friends, my reputation too,
And all of my achivements on this earth,
But I'll still have you, booby, I'll still have you
To torture each and ev'ry week.
Oh, I'd just love to hear you shriek!
They say nothing lasts forever, and I've surely learned it's
true,
But I'll still have you, booby, I'll still have you.
