A5     C5      C5
Put your sweet fingers
A5     C5      C5
A little closer to the keyboard
A5     C5      C5
It's hard to read between your lines
F5                                            C5
We were the clock hands at eindigt
A5     C5      C5
Now you're four whole hours behind
A5     C5      C5
Put your sweet fingers a little closer to the keyboard
A5     C5      C5
I can't quite see the whites of your eyes
F5                                                                        C5
Though you bat your eyelids from across the ocean
A5     C5      C5
And I fall over in their breeze
F5                           C5                     G5
I don't bring you spices from the East
F5                           C5                     G5
I don't bring you the world's you crave
A5               C5                C5
'Cos everyday you need a new one
C5                   F5                              G5                        F5
Just like Mr Benn, just like Mr Benn
A5                  C5                        C5
Put your sweet fingers a little closer to the keyboard
A5                  C5            C5
We pass light bits in the night
F5                                                  C5
Though you send your flare to the horizon
A5              C5                     C5
I just stare and blink in your light
F5                        C5
I don't speak in all your tongues
F5                              C5
So I don't even know if I'll be welkome
A5            C5                  C5
But what if I appeared as if by magic?
F5            C5
Just like in Mr Benn

G5                  F5
Just like in Mr Benn

A5            G5
So go if you're going
F5
You keep pouring when I say when
A5            G5
Come home when your
F5
Work there is done
G5            F5
Just like Mr Benn

A5      
Put your sweet fingers
      C5            C5
A little closer to the keyboard
A5                  C5            C5
It's hard to read between your lines
F5                        C5
We were the clock hands at eindigt
A5                  C5            C5
Now you're four whole hours behind
