Hoi PolloiCifra de Cavaquinho

D                       F#m7 
We've been invited to a cocktail party 
A                  Bb C 
Over by the palace wa-a-ll 
D                                 F#m7 
I've not been dressed up since my graduation 
A                      D C# 
Haven't been around at all 

Bm                                   G 
Look what happens when you reach the top 
                        Bm 
The whole world is your oyster 
                       A 
You walk 'round like a bleeding fop 

 
E                       Amaj7 
Meet me outside the curiosity shop 
E                G6 
No need to bring money 
A              D 
Life can be so funny 
            G                       C      A 
When you're hangin' around with the hoi polloi 


The countess wipes her nose upon her sleeve 
Doesn't think that we can see 
The duke of astinbury has to leave 
He's afraid to dance with me 

Look what happens when you've got it made 
Everyone respects us 
No more mingling with the local trade 

Chorus 

As the hostess checks the sky for rain 
Her fifteen year old daughter 
Drives the patriarchal letch insane 

Chorus 

F                 C              Bb        Bbm 
We'll be hangin' around with the hoi polloi   (repeat)
