Am                     E
You walk into the room With your pencil in your hand
F                                   Am
You see somebody naked And you say, "Who is that man?"
F               Dm
You try so hard But you don't understand
C                Em  Am
Just what you'll say When you get home 
C                    Em
Because something is happening here 
Am
But you don't know what it is 
F              Am
Do you, Mister Jones 


You raise up your head And you ask, "Is this where it is?" 
And somebody points to you and says "It's his" 
And you say, "What's mine?" 
And somebody else says, "Where what is?" 
And you say, "Oh my God Am I here all alone?" 
Because something is happening here 
But you don't know what it is 
Do you, Mister Jones

 
You hand in your ticket And you go watch the geek 
Who immediately walks up to you When he hears you speak 
And says, "How does it feel To be such a freak?" 
And you say, "Impossible" As he hands you a bone 
Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is 
Do you, Mister Jones 

Am                     E
You have many contacts Among the lumberjacks 
F                                                    Am
To get you facts When somebody attacks your imagination 
Am                         E
But nobody has any respect Anyway they already expect you 
F                       Dm                           G
To just give a check To tax-deductible charity organizations 
G7
AHHHHH!

You've been with the professors And they've all liked your looks 
With great lawyers you have Discussed lepers and crooks 
You've been through all of F. Scott Fitzgerald's books 
You're very well read It's well known 
Because something is happening here 
But you don't know what it is 
Do you, Mister Jones 


Well, the sword swallower, he comes up to you And then he kneels 
He crosses himself And then he clicks his high heels 
And without further notice He asks you how it feels 
And he says, "Here is your throat back Thanks for the loan" 
Because something is happening here 
But you don't know what it is 
Do you, Mister Jones 


Now you see this one-eyed midget Shouting the word "NOW" 
And you say, "For what reason?" And he says, "How?" 
And you say, "What does this mean?" And he screams back, "You're a cow! 
Give me some milk Or else go home" 
Because something is happening here 
But you don't know what it is 
Do you, Mister Jones 

Well, you walk into the roomLike a camel and then you frown 
You put your eyes in your pocket And your nose on the ground 
There ought to be a law Against you comin' around 
You should be made To wear earphones 
Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is 
Do you, Mister Jones
