Intro:

G, G  F

Verse 1:

    G                            G  F
I'm partial to your abracadabra;
    Eb              Bb        C
I'm raptured by the joy of it all.

   D
So stop me where you start,
    B7             Em
The cockles of his heart,
    Bb               A7           G
The panties sends it right up the wall.

Verse 2:

G                                     G  F
 Please, please, stop it; it likes it,
Eb             Bb           C
 Tickles it to death either way.

      D
These lovely boots exist,
   B7                 Em
To drive it round the twist;
    Bb             A7        G
The call of nature must be o-beyed.

Chorus 1:

G          F         G       F      C7
 Glad it's over, but this is worse.
      G      F           G       F
Could hardly say, it had been co-erced.
Eb7                            D7
 Stop it cos it likes it, it's worse.

Verse 3:

    G                            G  F
I'm partial to your abracadabra;
    Eb           Bb       C
The unforeseen e-rogenous zones.

D
 Stop, it insists;
B7                 Em
 Slap it with your wrists;
   Bb                A7         G
It likes it when you leave it a-lone.

Verse 4:

        G                     G  F
There's been a manifestation;
Eb              Bb         C
 Nature made it answer the call.

   D
It simply can't resist,
B7                    Em
 Boots and pants like this;
Bb      A7        G
 Abraca-dabra for all.

 Glad it's over, but this is worse.
G        F     G       F
 Roll it over; too per-verse,
Eb7                            D7
 Stop it cos it likes it, it's worse.

I'm partial to your abracadabra.

I'm partial to your abracadabra,

I'm partial to your abracadabra.
