[Verse 1]
Now [G]I'm not,
I repeat [Am]not a[D]nyway a prude
[Em]But the sigh[Am]t of two p[Dm]eople
[G]cavorting on stage
[C]Doing wha[F#dim]t can only be[B]
termed [Em]a natural act
[A]Is unles[Dm]s you wear a raincoat
only [G]good for a [C]laugh
[G]As a rule,

[Verse 2]
[Am]
I never [F#dim]smoke whi[D]le on dut[Em]y

make myself [C]clear
Though [F#dim]at times if there
[B]nobody's look[Em]ing I w[A]ill
I mean, [C]life's [F]too short and if

once [Em]said in [A]a rage

have [G]pigs an [C]the stage"
[G]Whoever said

[Verse 4]
[Am]blue skies
[D]were better than [Em]red
[Am]Must have been talki[Dm]ng from [G]out of his hat[C]
I [F#dim]mean whose ever hear[B]d
of a [Em]blue sky at [A]night
