EEvery word pronounced disE/G#tinctly, slowly 
There are Eno contractions, nothing E/G#slurred 
AUnprepared you watch in A/C#rank amazement 
As she lAights her cigarette and A/C#stirs 
BmEvery motion is complete, no F#mediting of anything 
EnEcouraging, encouraging, and E/D#not the customary bill of A/Efore 
Chorus: 
Can't you see the Alady is Glingering (Dlingering) 
AThis lady's Elingering, and you cannot beBlieve the reason Ewhy 
Every sip is of the smallest quantity 
That still denotes apparent thirst 
Every question is a means to draw long answers 
Play the fool, it doesn't hurt 
Splitting, spliting headache coming Get up early in the morning 
Where are the funny phrases that are always followed by goodbye 
Chorus

Chorus 
DmRisky business, all this wBbaiting, wondering 
A Arisky business, all this Emwaiting, wondering (repeat)
