                    A          
Staring over at his neighbor's, 
               Em
knickers down.
A                          Em    
He's got his knickers down.

                 G                Em
So the summer is eternity for you?
                       A       
Sleeping in until your father's 
                 Em
shaking you down
A                     Em        A
He's shaking you down.

And the mailroom shift gets a real 
short shrift
       F#m                         
As you dole out the packages, 
                          Em
no-one seems to want you around
A              Em    A
All skullking around.

'Til your sinews spoil
G    A

D        Bm       D     Bm
Will you stay here for awhile, dear,
D        F#m  Em     G
'Til the radio plays something 
familiar?
      A
Plays something familiar.

VERSE II (Same Chords)

All a-drifting, he's the nogood boyo
Sent a-fishing for a whalebone 
corset frame
(The only catch all day)

So he sits and lets the current take
 him
A gentle breeze will leave his pants
 in disarray
And at his ankles laid.

As he drifts to sleep with a moan 
and a weep
He is decked by a Japanese geisha 
with a garland of pearls
How she twists and twirls!

CHORUS (Same Chords and Words) *ADD
D        F#m  Em     G
'Til the radio plays something 
familiar
      A
Plays something familiar
      Em
Plays something familiar
      A
Plays something familiar
