Em7         A7               G/B            A7 
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, 
    Bm5-/7        E7    Bm5-/7       E7 
For wives should always be lovers, too; 
C#m5-/7     F#7            C#m5-/7            F#7 
Run to his arms the moment he comes home to you, 
   Bm5-/7   F7M  E7      E7/9      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. 
Bm5-/7            E7    Bm5-/7       E7 
For wives should always be lovers, too, 
C#m5-/7     F#7            C#m5-/7            F#7 
Run to his arms the moment he comes home to you; 
    Bm5-/7 F7M   E7     E7/9     G/B       A7 
He's almost    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           D6 
Time to get ready for love.
