The Egg Marketing Board Tango

Intro:
^Gm ^Dm ^A7 ^Dm ^A7^Dm
It's the ^GmEgg Marketing Board ^DmTango,
In ^A7other words, the dance of ^Dmlove. ^A7 ^Dm
You ^Dmgo down to the palais and you're ^A7eager for a dance,
You see a lovely stranger and your ^Dmeyes meet quite by chance.
She's ^Gmwarm and she's desirable with ^Dmlips meant to be kissed,
So you ^A7stand eight feet apart and do the ^Dmtwist. ^N/COh Lor'!
But in the ^Ctango you gets the ^C7chance to ^Fhold her oh so near,
And you ^Cgaze into her lovely ^C7eyes of ^Fblue.
And while you're ^A7dancing you whisper sweet ^Dmnothings in her ear,
And she ^Gmsays, "Sweet nothing doing," back to ^A7you.
You ^Dmgive her ear a nibble, you ^A7give her cheek a peck,
You've got her in a grip of steel, you're ^Dmbreathing down her neck.
And ^Gmthen she says those magic words that ^Dmthrill you through and through,
"You've been ^A7eating pickled onions, haven't ^Dmyou? ^N/COh poo!"
^Gm ^A7 ^Dm ^A7^Dm
Once I ^Dmmet a girl called Kitty who was ^A7pretty as could be,
She lived up in the city and she ^Dmasked me 'round to tea.
But ^Gmpretty, witty Kitty, she ^Dmtried to pull my leg,
So I ^A7hit her, what a pity, with a ^Dmsoft-boiled egg.
Then the ^Cwireless played a tango ^C7and I ^Fheld her in my arms,
As we ^Cswayed and we glided ^C7'round the ^Froom.
And when her ^A7dad come in we carried on, a^Dmlas I didn't know,
He was ^Gmdeaf and he couldn't hear the ^A7tune.
He ^Dmpunched me in the ear'ole and he ^A7hit me with a vase,
He chased me down the garden and he ^Dmkicked me on the grass.
So ^Gmnow I swear I'm finished, as ^Dmtrue as stars above,
With the ^A7tango, the dance of ^Dmlove. ^A7 ^Dm ^A7
