The Ballad of Freda And Barry - 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 Gardener's Question Time
[Gm7]Barry [C7]Cringed [Am]in fear and [D]dread
[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 [C7]is right!
[C7]I'm feeling, appealing,
I've [F] really got an [F7]appetite.
[Bb]I'm on fire with desire
[F]I could 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 [C]don't believe in too much [C7]sex
[C7]This fashion For passion
[F]Turns us into nervous [F7]wrecks.
[Bb]No derision, My decision
[F]I'd rather watch the Spinners on the [D7]television.
[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 til our hearts go [C7] boom
[C7]Go native be creative
[F]Living in the living [F7] room
[Bb]This folly, this 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,
Me [C]‘eavy breathing days ave [C7]gone
[C7]I’m older, I feel colder
[F]Its t’other things that turn me [F7] on
[Bb]I’m imploring, I’m boring
[F]Let me read this catalogue on [D7] vinyl flooring
[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] have a crazy night of [C7] love
[C7] I’ll strip bare, I’ll just wear
[F]Stilettos and an oven [F7] glove
[Bb]Dont starve a girl of a palava
[F] Dangle from the wardrobe in your [D7] balaclava
[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] 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] share a night of wild [C7] romance
[C7] Frenetic, poetic
[F]This could be your last big [F7] chance
[Bb]To quote Milton, to eat Stilton
[F] To roll in gay abandon on the tufted [D7] Wilton
[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’ve [C]got other little jobs on [C7]hand
[C7]Dont grouse, around the house
[F]I’ve got a busy evening [F7] 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]
[F]Let's do it,let's do it, [C] while I’m really in the [C7] mood
[C7] Three cheers, it’s years
[F]Since I caught you even semi [F7] nude
[Bb]be drastic, gymnastic
[F] Wear your baggy Y-fronts with the loose [D7] 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]must refuse to get [C7]undressed
[C7] I feel silly, it’s too chilly
[F]To go without me thermal [F7] vest
[Bb]Dont choose me, don’t use me
[F]Me mother sent a note to say you must [D7] excuse me
[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 feel i absolutely [C7]must
[C7]I wont exempt you, want to tempt you
[F] I want to drive you mad with [F7]lust
[Bb]no cautions, just contortions
[F]Smear an avocado on my [D7]lower portions
[G7]Let's do it, [C]let's do it [F]tonight![C7]
[F]I can't do it, I can't do it,
It’s [C]really not my cup of [C7]tea
[C7] I feel har- rassed, embarassed
[F]I wish you hadn’t picked on [F7] me
[Bb]No dramas, in my Pyjamas
[F]The only girl I’m mad about is [D7] Judith chalmers
[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 run [C7] amok
[C7] Lets wiggle, lets jiggle
[F] lets really make the rafters [F7] rock
[Bb]be mighty, be flighty
[F] Come and melt the buttons on my flameproof [D7] nightie
[G7]Let's do it, [C]let's 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] behave
[Bb]not bleakly, not meekly
[F] Beat me on the bottom with my 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
[C6][F]
