Verse:
 
    Am                    /G
    Ooh, you're a holiday

Chorus 1:
 
          C                         G
    It's something I think's worthwhile
            Am               Em
    If the puppet makes you smile
        F                          C

               G      G7        C
    Throwing stones, throwing stones
 
Verse 2:
 
    Ooh, it's a funny game
    Don't believe that it's all the same
    Can't think what I've just said
    Put a soft pillow on my head

repeat chorus 2
 
Verse 3:

    Such a holiday
    Now it's my turn to say
    And I say you're a holiday

repeat verse w/wordless vocal and snare drum; end cold on second F
