C5                       G5
Honey put down that flyswatter
C5                    G5
And pour me some ice water
C5                       G5
And would you bring me my hammer
C5                         D5
And could you find me some nails

C5               G5
For soon I'll be going
C5               G5
To work for this living
C5                   G5
And with you here to guide me
C5            G5
Then I cannot fail

C5 G5

C5             G5
The morning it stumbles
C5                   G5
Right in through the window
C5                  G5
And this getting up early
C5       D5
Gets old anyway

C5                      G5 
And if you listen close dear
C5                  G5
The crying that you hear
C5               G5
Is the nighttime lamenting
C5               G5
The start of the day

C5 G5

C5                   G5
And it's hotter than concrete
C5         G5
In July in Houston
C5            G5
And it'll get worse here
C5              D5
Before it turns nice

C5                    G5
But old Tink's in the backyard
C5                        G5  
And I swear that boy's so smart
C5                  G5
He's got everything ready
C5              G5
So we'll be all right

C5 G5

C5                     G5
So honey put down that flyswatter
C5                   G5
And pour me some ice water
C5                      G5
And though I'll soon be going
C5                  D5
Well I haven't gone yet
C5                 G5
So come stand here beside me
C5               G5  
And hold my hand gently
C5                 G5   
And tell me do you remember
C5                G5
The first time we met

C5 G5
