I don't like you walking round with physical jerks.

Ev'rything they say and do is getting on my nerves.

Soon they will be lucky to be picking up the perks.

G          F#m                                                       Bm

            Em                                                       G                                 A
they'll find out that all the dogs outside bite much worse than they bark.

'Cause meanwhile, up in heaven they are waiting at the gate,

Later in the evening when arrangements are made
D                                                                 G D G
I'll be at the keyhole outside your bedroom door
D                                                                               G D G
'Cause I'm the first to know whenever the plans are laid

That never go further than floor to floor

G       F#m                                   Bm
You think that I don't know the boy that you're touching
Em                                     G                A

And you're already looking for another, a fool like me.
