VERSE 1
   Bm                      G             A                    Bm
I wanna tell you about my mountain home, where all the ladies names are Joan

Bm                       G
Where husbands work back late at night

A                                         Bm
His hopes are up for trousers down with a hostess on a business flight

Bm              G               A                     Bm
Oh, taxi in a mercedes drive, I hope that driver is coming out alive

Bm                               G
The garden it is dorsetted, that lady’s she’s so corsetted 

A                    Bm
She’s got 15 ways to lead that boy astray

Bm                                    G
He thinks he’s one and only, but that lovely she’s so lonely

A                                   Bm
She pumps him full of breakfast and sends him on his way


REFRAIN
Bm                      G
What a sing-song dance, what a performance

A                          F#m
What a cheap tent show, Oh no,no,no,no,no….then


CHORUS
Bm                  G
The boys light up, then the boys light

A                                  Bm
then the boys light up, yeah the boys light up, light up, light up


VERSE 2
Bm           G               A                        Bm
Silently she opens the draw, mothers little helper is coming out for more

Bm                       G
Strategically positioned before the midday show

A                                          Bm
The back is arched those lips are parched, repeated blow by blow

Bm                  G
Later at the party, all the MP’s rave

          A                                 Bm
‘bout the humma’s she’s been giving and the money that they save

Bm                            G                 A                        Bm
To her it is skin lotion, him promotion to that flat in Surfers Paradise with the ocean view
