sticking out of your – your haversack ,

well uh , i wouldn’t mind riding you bareback .

verse

he’s subtle on the dancefloor and he’s suave around the bar

he’s a quickdraw with a lighter , he’s a pseudo movie star .

quite some time ago .

he had quite a famous program , late night bedtime tv show .

a fantabulous night to make romance

’neath the cover of october skies

and all the night’s magic seems to whisper and hush
Am Em Am Em Am Am strum 3x B7
and all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush

Em Am Em Am
can i just have one a’ more moon dance with you , my love
Em Am Em Am B7
can i just make some more romance with A – you , my love

verse
Em B7 Em B7
well he opens up the curtains at the crack of dawn

just to see the lovely ladies who have come and gone

from the house next door to his house on the lane ,

he consoles himself that he’s got his health and he knows he can’t complain .
