            A            
There's a smart young woman, on a light blue screen,
                                D
That comes into my room every night,
          A7           A6            A          A4
And she takes all her red, yellow, orange and green,
A7(type2)  A7sus4      A    A4         D
   And she turns them into black and   ...white!


         A/E           D/F#
But you tease, and you flirt,
          G            D/F#      A/E          D
And you shine all the buttons on your green shirt,
          G                     D                     A(type2)
You can please yourself, but somebody's gonna get it!


       G                  D         A(type2)
Better cut off all i - dentifying labels,
      G                D                E
Be - fore they put you on the torture table!


           A
'Cause, somewhere in the quizzling clinic,
                                                         D
There's a short-hand typist taking seconds over minutes,
          A7     A6        A    A4
She's listening into the Venus line,
      A7(type2)   A7sus4         A       A4             D
She's picking out names, I hope none of them are mine!


         A/E           D/F#
But you tease, and you flirt,
          G            D/F#      A/E          D
And you shine all the buttons on your green shirt,
          G                     D                     A
You can please yourself, but somebody's gonna get it!


G                        D
    Never said I was a stool- pigeon,
G                        D
    Never said I was a diplomat,
G                 D
   Everybody is under suspicion,
     A                            D
But you don't want to hear about that!


            A/E            D/F#
'Cause you tease, and you flirt,
          G            D/F#      A/E          D
And you shine all the buttons on your green shirt,
          G                     D                     A
You can please yourself, but somebody's gonna get it!


        G               D           A               D
Better send a begging letter to the big investi - gation,
G                  D              A            D
   Who put these finger prints on my imagi - nation?


     A/E            D/F#
You tease, and you flirt,
          G            D/F#      A/E          D

          G                     D                      (A/C#) A
You can please yourself, but somebody's gonna get it,
          G                     D                      (A/C#) A
You can please yourself, but somebody's gonna get it,
          G                     D                      (A/C#) A
