Leavin’ on a Jetstream

It’s easy to get sidetracked when you’re in a bathroom store buying your first bath tub together. You just want a no frills tub for two for a small bathroom. Each tub you try not only gets bigger but comes with more bells and whistles until you get the largest one with jetstream and massage options. Once you get home, you discover that you can barely move around in the bathroom. You’ll also need to knock through a wall to fit it.

parody on John Denver’s “Leavin’ on a Jet Plane”

All my [C] money’s gone, I’m [F] ready to cry
I’m [C] sitting here, all [F] naked alone
I’m [C] drowning in the [F] bathtub we can’t af- [G7] ford.
But the [C] tax man’s calling, I’m [F] trying to hide
From [C] last year’s taxes, I’ve [F] still to pay
Al- [C] ready I’m so [F] bankrupt I could [G7] die.

So [C] mister, please [F] let me be
[C] Tell me that you’ll [F] set me free
[C] Forgive me like you [F] want to make my [G7] day
‘Cause I’m [C] leavin’ [F] on a jetstream
[C] Don’t know when [F] I’ll rise up again
[C] Oh, [F] mister, I cannot [G7] pay!

When we [C] first came to your [F] bathroom store,
You [C] seemed so friendly, [F] not a bore,
You [C] let me try your [F] bathtubs with my [G7] girl
Every [C] tub we sat, we [F] spoke of love
Every [C] tub we touched, we [F] felt our love
So [C] that was why, we [F] chose the largest [G7] tub.

So [C] mister, please [F] let me be
[C] Tell me that you’ll [F] set me free
[C] Please forget that [F] jetstream bathtub [G7] order!
‘Cause I’m [C] leavin’ [F] on a jetstream
[C] Don’t know when [F] I’ll be clean again
[C] Oh, [F] mister, I hate to [G7] pay.

[C] Let me remind you that I [F] called you next day
And [C] told you that the [F] bathtub didn’t fit
But [C] still you won’t [F] cancel what I’d [G7] ordered
How I [C] wish that I had [F] not signed the form
How I [C] wish that I had [F] no money to pay
Then [C] I won’t have the [F] nightmare I’m having to [G7] day.

So [C] mister, please [F] let me be
[C] Tell me that you’ll [F] set me free
[C] I just want a [F] bathtub built for [G7] two.
‘Cause I’m [C] leavin’ [F] on a jetstream
[C] Don’t want no [F] extra bubbles now
[C] Oh [F] mister, I just want my [G7] girl.

I’m [C] leavin’ [F] on a jetstream
[C] Don’t know when [F] I’ll be clean again
[C] Oh, [F] mister, please let me [G7] be.
