Bm  ->  Asus2  ->  E  (x2)


E                       Gmaj                       E
Cleo wrote to Tony, now pull me from this hell

     E                                  A                   E
I'll hock all of my precious jewels and find a cheap motel

        E                             Gmaj                E
There's only room for you and me, the only two who care

 E                             A                        E
Egyptians and Centurions could kill this perfect pair


E                        D                      E
Who's watching the Nile, how far can it be

E                         D                     E
Not more than a mile, til both of us are free

      E                           D                    E
We'll fool them at the border and tell them that we're lost

   E                                 D                E
If bribes are what they order, we'll pay them what it costs

(Bm  ->  Asus2  ->  E)

Tony wrote to Cleo, now don't you sell no ring
I know this perfect getaway just outside Peking
We might stand out a little, let's hope that they won't stare
Chinamen and Asians won't kill this perfect pair

CHORUS

Tony picked up Cleo, he heard someone yell "Caesar"
Now how you think they mean that?  You think as in to seize her
Or is it one's perception and how some pharaoh sees her
Instead a passerby confused Tony for Julius Caesar

CHORUS

(insert jazz odyssey here)

We'll leave this misery
And both of us are free
