[Intro]
Bm   G  A   Bm  x3
[Verse]
Bm                          G 
  I wanna tell you about my mountain home, 
A                       Bm 
  Where all the ladies' names are Joan, 
Bm                             G 
  Where her husband works back late at night, 
A 
Hopes are up for trousers down, 
         Bm 
with the hostess on the business flight. 
        G 
Taxi in Mercedes drive, 
A                      Bm 
  I hope that driver's coming out alive, 
    Bm 
The garden it is Dorseted, 
     G 
That lady she's so corseted, 
A                         Bm 
She's got fifteen ways to lead that boy astray. 
Bm 
Thinks he's one and only, 
         G 
But that lovely she's so lonely, 
    A 
She pumps him full of breakfast, 
        Bm 
And she sends him on his way.
[Pre-Chorus]
       Bm 
What a sing song dance, 
       A 
What a performance, 
       G 
What a cheap tent show, 
   F# 
Oh no no no no no
[Chorus]
A        Bm                      G 
Then the boys light up, then the boys light up 
         A                       Bm 
Then the boys light up, then the boys light up, light up, light up 
         Bm                      G 
Then the boys light up, then the boys light up 
         A                       Bm 
Then the boys light up, then the boys light up, light up, light up, buddy

[Verse]
Bm           G 
Silently she opens the drawer 
A 
Mother's little helper 
   Bm 
Is coming out for more, 
    Bm                     G 
Strategically positioned before the midday show, 
     A 
The back is arched, those lips are parched, 
  Bm 
Repeated blow by blow, 
Bm                        G 
Later at the party where all the MP's rave 
          A 
About the hummers she's been givin', 
        Bm 
And the money that they saved, 
   Bm 
To her it is skin lotion, 
G 
him promotion to 
     A                        Bm 
That flat in Surfers Paradise with the ocean view.
[Pre-Chorus]
       Bm 
What a sing song dance, 
       A 
What a performance, 
       G 
What a cheap tent show, 
   F# 
Oh no no no no no
[Chorus]
A        Bm                      G 
Then the boys light up, then the boys light up 
         A                       Bm 
Then the boys light up, then the boys light up, light up, light up 
         Bm                      G 
Then the boys light up, then the boys light up 
         A                       Bm 
Then the boys light up, then the boys light up, light up, light up, buddy
