Riff intro
A
See them at the airport with their cases in their hand
E A
Got a ten day package in another land
They're the jet age gypsies with a super-sonic sound
E A
They're the portable people, and they take themselves around
D D C A
Portable people, flyin' in the air
E D C A
Portable people, goin' everywhere
A
Por....ta....ble - Peo....ple!

Riff intro
A
See them at the window with a panoramic view
E A
It's the only time they've noticed that the sky is colored blue
One will have a cloak and a pair of wooden clogs
E A
He liked the avocado, but he didn't like the vase
