[Verse 1]
A
There's a smart young woman, on a light blue screen,
D
That comes into my room every night,
A7 A6 A A4
And she takes all her red, yellow, orange and green,
A7 * A7sus4 A A4 D
And she turns them into black and ...white!
[Chorus]
A/E D/F#
But you tease, and you flirt,
G D/F# A/E D
And you shine all the buttons on your green shirt,
G D A *
You can please yourself, but somebody's gonna get it!

G D A *
Better cut off all i - dentifying labels,
G D E
Be - fore they put you on the torture table!
[Verse 2]
A
'Cause, somewhere in the quizzling clinic,
D
There's a short-hand typist taking seconds over minutes,
A7 A6 A A4
She's listening into the Venus line,
A7 * A7sus4 A A4 D
She's picking out names, I hope none of them are mine!
[Chorus]
A/E D/F#
But you tease, and you flirt,
G D/F# A/E D
And you shine all the buttons on your green shirt,
G D A *
You can please yourself, but somebody's gonna get it!
[Bridge]
G D
Never said I was a stool- pigeon,
G D
Never said I was a diplomat,
G D
Everybody is under suspicion,
A D
But you don't want to hear about that!
[Chorus]
A/E D/F#
'Cause you tease, and you flirt,
G D/F# A/E D
And you shine all the buttons on your green shirt,
G D A *
You can please yourself, but somebody's gonna get it!

Better send a begging letter to the big investi - gation,
G D A D
Who put these finger prints on my imagi - nation?
[Chorus and Coda]

You tease, and you flirt,
G D/F# A/E D
And you shine all the buttons on your green shirt,
G D A/C# A
You can please yourself, but somebody's gonna get it,
G D A/C# A
You can please yourself, but somebody's gonna get it,
G D A/C# A
You can please yourself, but somebody's gonna get it!
