|
| It's the GmEgg Marketing Board DmTango, |
| In A7other words, the dance of Dmlove. A7 Dm |
|
| Now 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 a Dmfigure meant to hug, |
| So you A7stand eight feet apart and do the Dmfrug. N/C(Oh no!) |
|
| 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. |
|
| Now 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!" |
|
| Gm7 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 came in we carried on, aDmlas I didn't know, |
| He was Gmdeaf and he couldn't hear the A7tune. |
|
| Oh, he Dmpunched me in the ear'ole and he A7hit me with a vase, |
| He chased me down the garden and I Dmslipped upon the grass. |
| So Gmnow I swear I'm finished, as Dmtrue as stars above, |
| With the A7tango, the dance of Dmlove. Gm Dm |
| A7ODmlé! |
