[Intro]

[Verse 1]
To Ethink you could be sitting watching telly by the fire
Instead of being subjected to this,
To think someone suggested you’d be pleasantly surprised
And wouldn’t feel the need to boo and hiss.
Well, Ablame your Epartner; diArect that flak at your pEartner
Though Ayes, I’ll accept I’m the Efocus of your B7ire.
AGail and ESonya have Agone down town on a Ehen night
And they Awon’t be back until Edaylight, one asB7sumes.E  
[Verse 2]
EThis is like the dream you feared you’d dream about one night
This is where you never want to be,
This is where some fella standing next to you may shout:
“Do that one about the Zuiderzee”.
AHold your Ehorses; we Amight play one you’ll reElate to
A Asong you could even gyErate to in a B7while.
AOoh Ebaby – Asue the dating agency Emaybe
They Ashould have sent you Robert of EBlaby, in his B7Merc (Blaby’s in Leicestershire).
[Intro]
F#Home sweet Ehome; Facebook, Gogglebox, Bwine
F#Who’s Stuart EBoam, and why’s he swimming in Bbrine?E  
[Verse 3]
EYes, of course I realise now we’re not your cup of tea
Even worse it’s late and you’re still here,
Possibly, just possibly we’ve raised a knowing smile
Though probably you just need further beer.
well, Amine’s a Epint of ABadger’s Entirely BlEameless
And Awe shall forever be Enameless, you and B7I.
AGail and ESonya, I Athink may have played a joke Eon ya
So by Away of small consoElation I deB7cree: – your ordeal is over here.F#  E  B  F#  E  B

To think you could be sitting watching telly by the fire

To think someone suggested you’d be pleasantly surprised

And wouldn’t feel the need to boo and hiss.

Well, blame your partner; direct that flak at your partner

A E B7

Though yes, I’ll accept I’m the focus of your ire.

Gail and Sonya have gone down town on a hen night

A E B7 E

And they won’t be back until daylight, one assumes.

This is where you never want to be,

This is where some fella standing next to you may shout:

“Do that one about the Zuiderzee”.

Hold your horses; we might play one you’ll relate to

A song you could even gyrate to in a while.
