Let's stay a while and watch him

He's moving into action man 
       Em7                       A7
He's looking good but maybe 
                 Em7              A7    
He's in the wrong direction man

Every night, get a little, get a little 
D7                          G A Bm
Something for his appetite 
                          G A Bm            G A D
Everybody needs to have a     recreation

Everybody needs a little comfort for the soul
