[F] Hey Mr.
Top,
[C] [Bb] don't you think you're [C] somebody to love?

[F] Why don't you meet me on the dance floor [Bb] when it's time to [F] tell time?
And if you need to tell me something [Bb] once, [F] you won't have to say it twice.
And if you ask for a [C] nickel, [F] I'm gonna hand [F] you a dime.
And [Bb] [C] we'll forget about a fine slip only for a [F] little while.
[C] And leave a rose in the corner [Bb] with a little [F] big, big pile.

[F]
[F] Hey Mrs.
Blue, [Bb] [F] time to think of [C] something [F] new.
[Bb] [C] The [F] possum's been in the hips, [F] and the old salt shoe.
[C] And if you wanna lose a dress [F] on the night, [C] there's nothing [Bb] better I [F] have to do.
[C] And if I tell you something, [F] you won't have to [C] ask if it's true.
