[Em] [C] [D]
[C]
[C] Well, there once was a fella named [G] Willard [C] McVane,
and he only had just [D] one thought [G] on his brain.
[C] Every evening about midnight he'd slip [F] off alone
and call the [C] same lady [G] on the pay [C] telephone.
It's me again, [G] Margaret.
Hello, [C] is this Margaret?
You don't know me, [F] Margaret,
[G] but I [C] know you.
[G]
[C] Well, this upset the lady, [G] gave her [C] the blues,
so she called the police, said, [D] what shall [G] I do?
[C] Well, the chief of detectives came around [F] to her home
and eavesdropped [C] upon them [G] on her [C] upstairs home.
[G] It's me again, Margaret.
Is [C] this Margaret?
I [F] know it's you, Margaret.
[G] [C] Are you naked?
[G]
[C] [G] [C] Well,
[Dm] [C] they called up Marvel, [G] traced him [C] on down
to a funky old phone booth [D] on the outskirts of [G] town.
It [C] was there that the fight squad with the field [F] glasses read
the lips of [C] that [G] amorous man [C] as he said,
It's [G] me again, Margaret.
Hello, [C] is this Margaret?
I [F] know it's you, Margaret.
[G] [C] Want to hear me bark like Rin Tin Tin?
[G]
[C] Well, they cuffed him and dragged him [G] to the station [C] downtown
and they allowed him one phone call [D] before the [G] jailer came round.
[C] He wet his chapped lips and cleared his young [F] throat.
Then he dialed [C] the telephone.
[G] Softly, [C] he spoke.
It's [G]
me again, Margaret.
They got me, [C] Margaret.
You ain't gonna [F] miss me, Margaret.
I know that.
[G] But I'll miss [Em]
you.
[Ebm] [F] [C] And when I get out, Margaret, I'm gonna come over [A] there with a [G] weed eater
and a live chicken and [C] some cool whip.
We'll [Cm] have a big [C] old time, Margaret.
[N] Why, yes, ma'am.
You can post bond right over here.
[Em] [Ebm] [Dm]
[C] Mr.
McBain, please.
That'll be [Db] [G] $350.
And how much for those [C] handcuffs?
[Cm] [C]
