[Intro]
Em
In a cafe
Am
On the Champs-Élysées
Em
I saw a girl the other day
Em
I was beguiled
Am
'till I saw her smile
B7* B7* Em
It was a gash across her face

[Verse]
Em Am
Not long ago she found that she was alone
Em
So she wandered into a vaudeville show

She should have known it'd be bad
Am B7* B7* B7* Em
She saw the name that it had: The Straight Razor Ca-ba-ret
Em Am
The first act was a stripper
Em
And the host looked like Jack the Ripper
Am
But the audience was dreary
B7* B7* B7* B7* B7*
And so he slashed them smiles from ear to ear

[Chorus]
Am
He used a straight-razor
Em
Cause he's a face raper
Am* Am Em
And there's nothing he hates more than a stick in the mud
Am
If he tells a joke
Em
You better laugh until you choke
Am B7 Em
At the Straight Razor Cabaret

[Verse 2]
Em Am
When I went down to Camden town
Em
I saw a man reading the Bible
Am
I won't in haste describe his face
B7* B7* B7* Em
For I might be sued for libel
Em Am
Not long ago he found that he was alone
