This is a Song in an Hour, available from the Triple J website

Unfortunately the lyrics weren't available from the all-powerful
Penny's Tripod Site, so I transcribed this myself.

C
  I got a letter from my baby

F                                 C      
  I ain't seen her in such a long time

F                         C               G
  And i never quite found out where she'd gone

C
  In the letter she explained to me

F                            Am
  Why she had disappeared so suddenly

F                              C
  I thought that she'd stopped loving me

            G
  But I was wrong

                G#    Bb               F
  And she said, Honey I've been taken away against my will

G#          Bb               C
  Why'd you do this thing to me?

G#               Bb               F
  That christmas present that you gave has done me ill

                  E
  they've come to get me

              F
  so come and get me

[chorus]

           C          G                F
Because my G-string's showing and I've been put in jail

     C      G         F
On a planet very far away

              C      G               F
It seems your gun collection doesn't draw much attention

       G
But my G-string saw the light of day

                    C
And so they put me away

G  F  G

Yon's instrumental (go yonny!)

              C
And she said, it's the lovely life here

          F                  C
she said, except for all the fat kids,

          F                                         C
she said, there actually seems to be quite a lot of fat kids here
she mentioned

G

Scod: er Yon, we know who's talking, alright?
Yon:  no, no i don't think you do know, i don't think you do know
Scod: mate, it is obvious, it's clear
Yon:  i think we should've done the whole thing from her perspective
Scod: it IS! do the next bit!


G#                Bb              F
  You see they've quarantined the fat kids too

G#           Bb                   C
  As well as keeping me away from you

G#                  Bb               F
  And i don't quite see why that's a punishment

              E                                                 F             
  putting the fat, putting all the fat kids on a planet full of women wearing g-strings

Yon: (spoken)
     Um, sorry guys, I have an announcement to make: I've got a secret 
     that I have kept from you for a 
     C
     long time, you see: I too am a fat kid wearing a g-string.

Scod: My, Yon! That announcement was hastily jammed into the song!

Yon:  Why, thankyou for that old-fashioned compliment!


           C          G                F
Because my G-string's showing and I've been put in jail

     C      G         F
On a planet very far away

              C      G               F
It seems your gun collection doesn't draw much attention

            G
But if your G-string sees the light of day

                      C       G       F
They're gonna put you away

          G       C        G       F
So go on, put it away

              G        C         G       F
They're gonna put you away

          G       C    C
So go on, put it away
