-4 -5  -5 -4  -5  -4   -5 -5   -4
I was heading for my mountain home
  -4  -6  -4   -5-4   -5   -4   -4
Where all the ladies names are Joan
 -4    -5 -5   -5    -4   -5  -5  -5
Where husband works back late at night
  -4   -4 -4 -5    -5 -5   -5
Hopes are up for trousers down
 -5 -5  -5 -4  -4 4   -4 -4    -4
With a hostess on a business flight
-5-5 -5 -4 -5-5-5    -5
Taxi in a Mercedes drive
-4 -6   -4   -4 4     -4-4  -4  4-4-5-4
I hope that driver`s coming out alive
-4   -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -4  -4
The garden it is Dorset-tive
 -6  -6-6 -6 -6  -6 -4 -4
That lady is so corset-ive
-5    -4   -5 -5    5   4  -4   -4  -4  4-4-5-4
She`s got fifteen ways to lead that boy astray
  -4   -4   -4  -5   6-6
Thinks he`s one and only 
-5   -5   -5-4  -4     4  -5-4
But that lovely She`s so lonely
-5   -5   -5   -5  -5   -5 -5
She pumps him full of breakfast
-5   -5   -4  -4  4  -4
And sends him on his way
-4  -4  -6   -6   -6
What a sing song dance
 -6 -6   6  6  5     5  5  -5    -5   -5
What a performance What a cheap tent show
CHORUS
-5  5  5  5  5  5  -4   4   -4   -4   -4
Oh no no no no no Then the Boys Light Up
 -4  -4  -4    -4   -4   -4  -4   -4   -4   -4
Then the Boys Light Up  Then the Boys Light Up
 -4  -4    5    5    5    4   4  -4    -4   -4
Then the Boys Light Up  Then the Boys Light Up
 -4   -4    -4   -4    -4   -4  -4   -4   -4
light up   light up   Then the Boys Light Up    
 -4   4   -4   -4   -4   -4  -4   5     5    5
Then the Boys Light Up  Then the Boys Light Up
 -4   4   -4   -4   -4   -4   -4    -4   -4
Then the Boys Light Up  light up   light up

Silently she opens the drawer. Mothers little helper
Is comeing out for more. Strategically positioned
Before the midday show The back is arched
Those lips are parched Repeated blow by blow
Later at the party all the MP`s rave
`Bout the hummers she`s been giving
And the money that they save
To her it is skin lotion
In promotion to  That flat in Surfers Paradise
With the ocean view
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
