    It was a beautiful world, the picture tube was bright

                   | C       ?      | G
There was so much to do on a Saturday night

                       | D/F#
Plenty of talk during commercials

             | Em7           | C
Sometimes even popcorn in bed

    I've been a model provider, you must admit to that

                   | C           ?            G
A lovely rented bungalow, two terrific little cats

                        | D/F#
Is there something that I might have missed?

                  | Em7           | Cadd9
You haven't heard a word I've said

    Now, I don't mean to seem angry but I'm a bit taken aback

                   | C                            | G
What did you say his name was? Oh, my god, it's not Jack?

                           | D/F#
That scoundrel's gonna get a talkin' to

              | Em7           | Cadd9
Tomorrow at the coffee machine

| G                       | Em7         | D/F#          G
    It's always someone you know, in this case, my best friend

                      | C                               | G
How could he do this to me?  We just played golf last weekend

                   | D/F#
I've got news for Mr So-and-so

                 | Em7        | Cadd9
He won't be teeing off with me



[repeat CHORUS]

      Em
Let's play a little game:

      G                          G/F#                     C
Is it bigger than a bread-box or shorter than your maiden name?

         C          Cmaj7/B
Is it as high as an elephant's eye?

           Am
Is it like mounting some great white steed?

            Cadd9                 | Cmaj7
I mean this thing you have for him

      G             D/F#
This, shall we say, need?

| G                  | Em7              | D/F#     G
    Let's turn off the lights, love, it's time for bed

                      | C                             | G
Oh look, there's Johnny Carson, if you'd rather watch instead

                                      | D/F#
I'm glad that we could have this little talk

                      | Em
Goodnight, and pleasant dreams, my love


[end on Em]
