A#
I want to tell you
F
I might as well do
F7 A#
about a girl I met back in May;
A#
Her name is Rita
F
and you should see her
F7 A#
when she goes ooh wakka doo wakka day.
A#
She's got a brother
F
like any other
F7 A#
who got his nose caught inside a gate;
A#
and when they freed him
F
it so relieved him
F7 A#
he just went ooh wakka doo wakka day.
Dm
You wouldn't think to look at me
Gm
that I was strong
Cm
but underneath it all
F
I really am;
A#
and just to prove it why
Gm
only the other day
G# C
- Dm - D# - F
i picked a needle up with one hand
A#
Now up in Bradford,

and then suspected

of going ooh wakka doo wakka day-ay-ay-ay.

It was not your wife
A# D#m
it looked to me suspiciously.

Like someone I have never seen before in my life.

It's not surprising
Gm

Now if you love me
