 There I was at the immigration scene 
 C           D9sus4 
 shining and feeling clean 
               Bb 
 could it be a sin? 
       D                          Csus2 
 I got stopped by the immigration man 
    C                    D9sus4            Bb 
 he says he doesn't know if he can. Let me in - 
  
        D       C 
 Let me in, immigration man, 
       D9sus4             D7sus4 
 can I cross the line and pray 
       Am           Bb 
 I can stay another day 
        D       C 
 Let me in, immigration man 
         D9sus4        D7sus4 
 I won't toe your line today 
         Am        Bb       D 
 I can't see it anyway. Hey hey 
  
  
 There he was with his immigration face 
 giving me a paper chase 
 but the son was coming 
 'cos all at once he looked into my space 
 and stamped a number over my face 
 and it sent me running 
 Won't you let me in, immigration man 
 can I cross the line and pray 
 I can stay another day 
 Won't you let me in, immigration man 
 I won't toe your line today 
 I can't see it anyway. 
  
 Here I am with my immigration form 
 it's big enough to keep me warm 
 when a cold wind's coming 
 so go where you will 
 as long as you think you can 
 you'd better watch out, watch out for the man 
 anywhere you're going. 
 Come on and let me in, immigration man, 
 can I cross the line and pray 
 take your fingers from the tray. 
 Let me in, irritation man, 
 I won't toe your line today 
 I can't see it anyway.
