BLet's get it understood, let's get it understood
F#We are the diners, the final diners
C#Let's get it understood, let's get it understood
EMost of us tinkers, some of us tailors,
BAnd we've got candlesticks, and lots of cocktail sticks
F#We saw the lovers, the modern lovers
C#And they looked very good, they looked as if they could
EWe are the neighbours, the nosy neighbours
BWe think just like we would, we think just like we should.
