Hey, little girl, comb your hair, fix your makeup --

Em7 A7 G/B A7
Soon he will open the door

F#m7 B7 F#m7 B7
Don't think because you've a ring on your finger

F#m7 B7 F#m7 B7
You needn't try anymore

Bm7-5 E7 Bm7-5 E7
For wives should always be lovers, too;

C#m7-5 F#7 C#m7-5 F#7
Run to his arms the moment he comes home to you

Bm7-5 FM7 E7 E7 alt G/B A7
I'm warn - ing you...

Em7 A7 G/B A7
Day after day, there are girls at the office

Em7 A7 G/B A7
And men will always be men;
F#m7 B7 F#m7 B7
Don't send him off with your hair still in curlers --

F#m7 B7 F#m7 B7
You may not see him again

Bm7-5 E7 Bm7-5 E7
For wives should always be lovers, too

C#m7-5 F#7 C#m7-5 F#7
Run to his arms the moment he comes home to you;

Bm7-5 FM7 E7 E7 alt G/B A7
He's al - most here

Em7 A7 G/B A7
Hey, little girl, better wear something pretty

Em7 A7 G/B A7
Something you'd wear to go to the city

F#m7 B7 F#m7 B7
And dim all the lights, pour the wine, start the music

Em7 A7 D D6
Time to get ready for love
Em7 A7 F#m7 B7
Time to get ready, time to get ready

Em7 A7 D D alt - D6
Time to get ready for love
