girls it’s been my pleasure

to know quite a lot of you .

you’re pretty sane , it’s true .
Am Dm7

G9 C
doo ti doo too beautiful a job .
Ddim7 C
it isn’t quite what they planned
Ddim7 G7 C
when the man gets the upper hand .
Ddim7 C
he’s takin’ her for a ride .
Ddim7 G7 C
i’d call it suicide .

if when she tries to run away

C Dm7 Em D#
if there’s a next time , he’s okay
G/D G C
cause she’s under both his thumbs .

she loves to ride in big parades .
but he wouldn’t so she won’t .
she needs at least a dozen maids .
but if he says no she don’t .

he wishes she knew his side .
soon there’ll be trouble brewin’ i’d
bet he says nothin’ doin’
i – i – i – i i’d call it suicide .
