Key:
D So you think that you have seen
A/C# her,
D/F# G When you?re lying in between her
D And you tell me that you don?t care
A/C#
D/F# G Busy bodies getting nowhere
D G Everybody?s getting meaner
D A Busy bodies caught in the
D D/F# G D Bm7 A concertina
D G You check her outline, break her
E A regulations
F#/C# Bm/D You watch her legs through
E A G several service stations
F#m F Busy bodies, very busy, getting
Em A7 nowhere
Continues after the ad
Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere
D Now you?re ready for a merger
A/C#
D/F# With the company you?re part of
G
D And you do the dirty business
A/C#
D/F# With your latest sleeping partner
G
D G You?re becoming automatic
D A Busy bodies out playing with the
D D/F# G traffic
D Bm7 A
D G E You want attention. You try my
A patience
F#/C# Bm/D With the best intentions you are
E A nothing but a nuisance
G
F#m F Busy bodies, busy busy, getting
Em A7 nowhere Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere
D Now you?ve given your performance
A/C#
D/F# G Though the matinee was idle
D And you find out that a wave of
A/C#
D/F# Her right hand could seem so tidal
G
D G Just a second satisfaction
D A Busy bodies temp
D D/F# G D Bm7 A
