[Intro 1]
[Am][F][G][Am]
[Am][F][G][Am]
[Am][F][G][Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]I wanna tell you
about my [F]mountain home
[G]Where all the ladies nam[Am]es are Joan
Where husband works back [F]late at night
[G]Hopes are up for trousers down
With [Am]hostess on a business flight
Oh, taxi in a [F]Mercedes drive
[G]I hope that driver's com[Am]ing out alive
The garden it is dorsetted
That [F]lady she's so corseted
[G]She's got 15 ways to [Am]lead that boy astray
He thinks he's one and only
But that [F]lovely she's so lonely
She [G]pumps him full of breakfast
and she [Am]sends him on his way

[Pre-chorus 1]
What a [Am]sing song dance
What a [G]performance
What a [F]cheap tent show
Oh [E]no no no no no

[Chorus 1]
Then the [Am]boys light up
Then the [F]boys light up
Then the [G]boys light up
Then the [Am]boys light up, light up, light up
Then the boys light up
Then the [F]boys light up
Then the [G]boys light up
Then the [Am]boys light up, light up, light up

[Interlude 1]
[Am][F][G][Am]

[Verse 2]
[Am]Silently she opens[F] the drawer
[G]Mother's little helper is [Am]coming out for more
Strategically positioned
be[F]fore the midday show
Her [G]back is arched, those lips are parched
Re[Am]peated blow by blow
Later at the party [F]all the MP's rave
About the [G]hummers she's been giving
And the [Am]money that they save
To her it is skin lotion
For [F]him promotion to
That [G]flat in surfers paradise
[Am]with the ocean view

[Pre-chorus 2]
What a [Am]sing song dance
What a [G]performance
What a [F]cheap tent show
Oh [E]no no no no no

[Chorus 2]
Then the [Am]boys light up
Then the [F]boys light up
Then the [G]boys light up
Then the [Am]boys light up, light up, light up
Then the boys light up
Then the [F]boys light up
Then the [G]boys light up
Then the [Am]boys light up, light up, light up
