Gonna [F] find my baby, gonna hold her tight, [Gm] gonna grab some afternoon [Dm]
delight.
[F] My motto's always been, when it's right, it's right.
Why wait [Dm] until the middle [Gm] of a cold, [Dm] dark night?
[Gm] When everything's a little [C] clearer in the light of day.
[Gm] Then [Bb] we know the night is always gonna be here anyway.
[Am]
[F] Thinking of you's working up my
[Gm] heart [Dm] to a little [Gm] afternoon [Dm] delight.
[F] Rubbing sticks and stones together, me
[Gm] thought of [Dm] loving you is getting [Gm] so excited.
[F] Sky rockets in flight,
[C] afternoon [Dm] delight.
[D] [Gm] Hey,
[Bb] afternoon [F] delight.
[Gm] Hey, [Am]
[Bb] afternoon [F] delight.
Started out this morning feeling so polite.
I [Bb] always thought a fish could love you, [Gm] caught it, didn't bite.

Never [Bb] been a little afternoon [Dm] delight.

[Gm] We [Bb] can make a lot of love and pull the [C] sun gone [F] down.
Thinking of you's working up my appetite.
Looking forward [Bb] to a little afternoon delight.
[F] Rubbing sticks and stones together make us sparks ignite.
[Gm] And the thought of [Bb] loving you is getting so exciting.
[F] Sky [C] rockets [F] in flight,
[C] afternoon [Dm] delight.
[D] [Gm] Hey, [F]
[Bb] [F] afternoon delight.
