Capo: No [Intro]                          * [Verse 1] Shirley It’s so exciting to be sleeping here in this new room Shirley You’re my reason to get out of bed before noon. [Verse 2] Shirley You know when we sat out on the fire escape talking Shirley What did you say about running before we were walking?     [Verse 3] Sometimes when we’re as close as this It’s like we’re in a dream How can you lie there and think of England When you don’t even know who’s in the team? [Verse 4] Shirley Your sexual politics have left me all of a muddle   Shirley We’re joined in the ideological cud-dle.        [Verse 5] I’m celebrating my love to you With a pint of beer and a new tattoo And if you haven’t noticed yet I’m more impressionable when my cement is wet. [Instrumental]               [Bridge] Politics and pregnancy are debated as we empty our glasses And how I love those evening classes.   [Verse 6] Shirley You really know how to make a young man angry    Shirley Can we get through the night without mentioning family?      [Verse 7] The people from your church agree It’s not much of a career Trying the handles of parked cars Whoops there goes another year Whoops there goes another pint of beer. [Interlude]                [Verse 8] Here we are in our summer years Living on ice cream and chocolate kisses And would leaves fall from the trees If I was your old man and you was my missus? [Outro]     Give my greetings to the new brunette. (Shirley) Greetings to the new brunette (Shirley) Greetings to the new brunette (Shirley) Greetings to the new brunette (Shirley)      *
