[Verse 1]
Can [Csus4]I remembe[C]r how this
song and dance [C#]began?
[C]Yes, I can, damn right I can.
It [Am]began, well, [A]anyway, [Dm]you see,
there was this [G]man
[Ebaug]who stopp[C]ed and asked me if I
knew which way was Lexington Avenue.
He said, I'm going to Bloomingdale's. I said,
I'm [C#]going to Bloomingdale's. So we hoofed it [C]over to Bloomingdale's. He wanted to buy some jockey shorts.
Then he said, [Bb]Miss,
would you like a cup of tea,
or maybe some 7 -Up?
I left the tip, picked up the tab
for the [B]jockey shorts
and the taxi cab.
[C]He dropped me off and I burned.
Boy, let that be a lesson to ya.
[Gm]Lower the [Am]boom, girl,
[Gm]Lower the [Am]boom
But [Dm]what can you do
when [Gsus4]he knocks[G] on your door?
Cuz they locked him out [Gm]of
his [C]furnished [B]room
So he moves [C#]in[C][B]
[G]He [Em]moves [Am]in with his jockey sh[D]orts
and a [B]paper bag, nothing [F#sus4]else.
He needs [B]toothpaste and a
toothbrush and pajama [C#]tops.
He needs razor blades,
a razor and a [B]comb, several.
He needs sister[Bm]ing and brothering
and [Em]fathering and mothering
[Am]He needs a hat to hang up in[D] my flat and
call [G]it home[Am][E][C#m][F#m][B][F#m]
[B]In no time at all I find we're
[C#]very [G#]much in [C#]love
And I'm blushing like a sentimental [B]slob.
And he's kissing [Bm]me and hugging me,
and [Em]all the time he's bugging me
to [Am]go out and try to find myse[D]lf a
better -pay[G]ing [Gsus4]job.[G]
[C]Comes July, it's [D]98 degrees.
He wants a coat,
want[F#dim]s a fur -li[C#]ned coat,
fur collar, cuffs, the [C]works.
While I really didn't begrudge it
when I [F]figured out my budget for that [Bbm]coat,
I had to dance with something [Eb]like eleven
hundred [Ab]jerks.[G][Ebaug][F#]
Now [B]comes February, ten de[C#]grees.
I need a coat need a coat
to walk his poodle that I [B]bought
So he gives me his old [Bm]sweatshirt
a [Em]muffler and a stretcher
and I [Am]give to him the [D]bronchial pneumonia
that I [G]caught[Abdim][C#]
Then I give [C#]him pocket money
poker money
[F#m]Smoking money, [D]skating money,
[C#]bowling money,
movie money,
haircut [B]money,
shoeshine money,
[Bm]money for a [B]bill from Louie's bar,
money for a bill from Maxie's bar,
money for a bill from Charlie's [C#]bar.
But will he ask for subway money?
[F#]Nah, he won't want [B]subway money.
[Bm]cause it [B]turns [Bm]out
the [B]bum wants to go to Florida
come on [C#]down now
hear this and get this
[F#]Oh Susannah amen
this [B]big fat [D#]heart
ain't [E]gonna [G#dim]be torn apart[Am]
[F#dim]ever[F#]
Ever, [B]ever, [D#]ever [G#m]again[C#][F#]
Olé!
