Few wee tunes
Ballad of Barry and Freda
Victoria Wood
[F] Freda and Barry sat one night, [Dm] the sky was clear, the stars were bright.
[Gm7] The wind was [C7] soft, [Am] the moon was [D] up.
[Gm7] Freda drained her [C] cocoa [C7] cup, [F] she licked her lips, she felt sublime.
[Dm] She switched off 'Gardeners' Question Time'.
[Gm7] Barry [C7] cringed in [Am] fear and [D] dread
[slowing down]
[Gm7] As Freda grabbed his [C] tie, and [C7] said,
[F] Let's do it! Let's do it, [C] do it while the mood is [C7] right!
[C7] I'm feeling Appealing, [F] I've really got an [F7^2] appetite.
[Bb] I'm on fire with desire, I could [F*] handle half the tenors in a [D7*] male voice choir.
[G7] Let's do it! [C] Let's do it [F] tonight! [C7]
But he said:
[F]I can’t do it, I can’t do it,
I’ve [C]got other little jobs on [C7] hand
[C7]Dont grouse, around the house
[F]I’ve got a busy evening [F7^2] planned
[Bb]Stop nagging, I’m flagging
[F*]You know as well as I do that the pipes want [D7*]lagging
[G7]I can’t do it, [C]I can’t do it [F]tonight.[C7]
So she said:
[F] Let's do it! Let's do it, [C] do it till our hearts go [C7] boom!
[C7] Go native, creative, [F] living in the living [F7^2] room.
[Bb] This folly is jolly, [F*] bend me over backwards on the [D7*] hostess trolley.
[G7] Let's do it! [C] let's do it [F] tonight! [C7]
But he said:
[F] I can't do it! I can't do it [C] me 'eavy breathing days [C7] have gone.
[C7] I'm older, Feel colder, [F] it's other things that turn me [F7^2] on.
[Bb] I'm imploring I'm boring, [F*] let me read this Catalogue on [D7*] vinyl flooring.
[G7] I can't do it. I [C] can't do it [F] tonight. [C7]
And she said:
[F] Let's do it! Let's do it, [C] while I'm really in [C7] the mood!
[C7] Three cheers! It's years since I [F] caught you even semi-[F7^2] nude.
[Bb] Be drastic; Gymnastic, [F*] wear your baggy Y-fronts with the [D7*] loose elastic.
[G7] Let's do it! [C] Let's do it [F] tonight! [C7]
[F]I can’t do it, I can’t do it,
I [C]know I’d only get it [C7]wrong
[C7]Dont angle for me to dangle
[F]me arms ave never been that [F7^2] strong
[Bb]Stop pouting, stop shouting
[F*]You know I pulled a muscle when I did that [D7*] grouting
[G7]I can’t do it, [C]I can’t do it [F]tonight.[C7]
[F]Let's do it,let's do it, [C] I really want to rant and [C7] rave
[C7] Lets go, cos I know
[F] just how I want you to [F7^2] behave
[Bb]not bleakly, not meekly
[F*] Beat me on the bottom with a woman’s[D7*] weekly
[G7]Let's do it, [C]let's do it [F]tonight![D7]
[G7]Let's do it, [C7]let's do it [F]tonight![D7]
[G7]Let's do it, [C7]let's do it [F]tonight [Am7*][F*]
