Am     C/B      C
Put your sweet fingers
Am     C/B      C
A little closer to the keyboard
Am     C/B      C
It's hard to read between your lines
F                                            C
We were the clock hands at eindigt
Am     C/B      C
Now you're four whole hours behind
Am     C/B      C
Put your sweet fingers a little closer to the keyboard
Am     C/B      C
I can't quite see the whites of your eyes
F                                                                        C
Though you bat your eyelids from across the ocean
Am     C/B      C
And I fall over in their breeze
F                           C                     G
I don't bring you spices from the East
F                           C                     G
I don't bring you the world's you crave
Am               C/B                C
'Cos everyday you need a new one
C                   F                              G                        F
Just like Mr Benn, just like Mr Benn
Am                  C/B                        C
Put your sweet fingers a little closer to the keyboard
Am                  C/B            C
We pass light bits in the night
F                                                  C
Though you send your flare to the horizon
Am              C/B                     C
I just stare and blink in your light
F                        C
I don't speak in all your tongues
F                              C
So I don't even know if I'll be welkome
Am            C/B                  C
But what if I appeared as if by magic?
F            C
Just like in Mr Benn

G                  F
Just like in Mr Benn

Am            G
So go if you're going
F
You keep pouring when I say when
Am            G
Come home when your
F
Work there is done
G            F
Just like Mr Benn

Am      
Put your sweet fingers
      C/B            C
A little closer to the keyboard
Am                  C/B            C
It's hard to read between your lines
F                        C
We were the clock hands at eindigt
Am                  C/B            C
