D A/C#
So you think that you have seen her,
D/F# G
When youґre lying in between her
D A/C#
And you tell me that you donґt care
D/F# G
Busy bodies getting nowhere
D G
Everybodyґs getting meaner
D A D D/F# G D Bm7 A
Busy bodies caught in the concertina
D G E A
You check her outline, break her regulations
F#/C# Bm/D E A G
You watch her legs through several service stations
F#m F Em A7
Busy bodies, very busy, getting nowhere
Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere
D A/C#
Now youґre ready for a merger
D/F# G
With the company youґre part of
D A/C#
And you do the dirty business
D/F# G
With your latest sleeping partner
D G
Youґre becoming automatic
D A D D/F# G D Bm7 A
Busy bodies out playing with the traffic
D G E A
You want attention. You try my patience
F#/C# Bm/D E A G
With the best intentions you are nothing but a nuisance
F#m F Em A7
Busy bodies, busy busy, getting nowhere
Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere
D A/C#
Now youґve given your performance
D/F# G
Though the matinee was idle
D A/C#
And you find out that a wave of
D/F# G
Her right hand could seem so tidal
D G
Just a second satisfaction
D A D D/F# G D Bm7 A
