-2  -2  -3  4  4  -3
Gon-na find my ba-by, 
 4  -3  -5   5   -3
gon-na hold her tight 
-3  -3  -1   -2  -2 -1   -3* 4  -33-2 
gon-na grab some af-ter-noon de-light. 
-2 -3   4   4    4   4     
My mot-to's al-ways been; 
 4    -3   -5     5    -3
when it's right, it's right. 
-3    3  -2 -2  -2  -2  -2 
Why wait un-til the mid-dle 
-2 -2 -3*  4     4
of a cold dark night. 
-3*  -3* -3   -3*  -3 -3* -3   -3*  -3      
When ev-‘ry-thing's a lit-tle clear-er 
-3* -3  -3*  4   4
in the light of day. 
-3* -3  -3* -3   -3*  -3    
And we know the night is 
-3* -3  -3* -3 -3* -3 -3* 4  4
al-ways gon-na be here an-y way. 

  4    4  4    4    4   4   4  4  -5  5  -3
Think-in' of you's work-in' up my ap-pe-tite 
 -3  -3  -2   -2  -2 -2
look-ing for-ward to a 
-2  -2  -2 -2   -3* 4    4
lit-tle af-ter-noon de-light. 
-2  -2     -3    4    4    4    4  4     
Rub-bin' sticks and stones to-geth-er 
  4    4    -5   5   -3
makes the sparks ig-nite 
-3  -3     -2   -2 -2  -2   -2  
and the thought of rub-bin' you 
-2 -2   -2 -3* 4   4   4 
is get-ting so ex-cit-ing. 

 4   -3* -3  -3*  -3*
Sky rock-ets in flight.  
4   4   4*  4*  -5
Af-ter-noon de-light.

  -2  -2  4    4   4    4
Start-ed out this morn-ing 
 4    4  -5  5  -3
Feel-ing so po-lite 
-3-3  -3    -2   -2  -2
I al-ways thought a fish 
 -2   -2  -2   -2   -2  -3*  4    4
could not be caught who did-n't bite 
-2  -2  -3    4   4   4   4  4
But you got some bait a wait-in' 
 4  4  -5   5  -3    -3  -2  -2 -2 
and I think I might like nib-bl-ing 
-2 -2 -2  -2 -2   -3* 4    4
a lit-tle af-ter-noon de-light.

 -3* -3 -3* 4   4
when I come a-round. 
4-3* -3 -3* -3 -3* -3 -3* -3
