-5* 7 -5* 7 -5* 7 -5* 7 7
When you want to you are a-ble to
-5* 7 -5* 7 -5* 7 -7* 7*
Make me feel that I’m Clark Ga-ble
-7* -7* -7* -9* 7 -7* -7* -5*
Then, next min-ute you make me feel
-5* -7* -5* -7* -7* -5*
I’m some-thing from the zoo
-5* 7 -5* 7 -5* 7 -5* 7
First you warm up then you’re dis-tant
-5* -5* 7 7 -5* 7 -5* 7 -7* 7*
Nev-er knew a girl so in-con-sis-tent
7 7 7 8 6 7 7 6
I’m a big shot at half past one
7 7 6 7 7 6
A so-and-so by two
-6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6* -6* -6*
Heav-en for-give you for your sins
-6* -6* -6 -6 8 8 8 8
Keep-ing me on need-les and pins
-7* 7 -7* 7 -7* -7*
You’re a build-er up-per
7 -6 -5* 7 7 -5* -5 5 -5* -5*
A break-er down-er a hold-er out-er
5 -3* 5 -5* 7 -9 9
And I’m a giv-er in-er

Sad but true I’m a sap-a-roo too
-6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6-7*-7* -7* -7*8
Tak-ing it from a tak-er o-ver like you
-7* 7 -7* 7 -7*-7*
Don’t know where I’m at-a
7 -6 -5* 7 7 -5* -5 5 -5* -5*
I’m just a this-a then I’m a that-a
5 -3* 5 -5* 7 -9 9
A tak-er on the chin-er
-9*-9*7* 7* 7* 8 8 8 7
My my my what a weak-y am I
7 -5* 7 -5* 7 -5*
To love you as I do
-6 7 -5* -6 7 7 7
Just when I’m read-y to sob
-5* -6 7 7 7
You hand me a throb
-5* -6 7 7* -7* -8 8*-9* -8
And ev-‘ry thing is hun-ky do-ry
-7* -9* 7 -9 8
And that’s my sto-ry
-6 -6 -6 -6
o-pen your arms
-6 -6 -6 -7* -7* -7* -7* 8
And I’m a stooge for your charms
-7* 7 -7* 7 -7* -7*
You’re a build-er up-per
7 -6 -5* 7 7 -5* -5 5 -5*-5*
A break-er down-er a hold-er out-er
5 -3* 5 -5* 7 -9 9
And I’m a giv-er in-er
-9* -9* 7* 7* -7*-7* 8 -9
Sad but true I love it I do
