C C
There's a smart young woman on a light blue screen
F F
Who comes into my house every night.
C C
And she takes all the red, yellow, orange and green
F F
And she turns them into black and white.

[Chorus]
C C F F
But you tease, and you flirt
Bb Bb F F C C F F
And you shine all the buttons on your green shirt
Bb Bb F F C C
You can please yourself but somebody's gonna get it


Bb Bb F F C C
Better cut off all identifying labels
Bb Bb F F C C
Before they put you on the torture table

[Verse 2]
C C
'Cause somewhere in the Quisling Clinic
There's a shorthand typist taking seconds over minutes
F F x2
C C
She's listening in to the Venus line
She's picking out names
F F
I hope none of them are mine
Fx2

[Chorus]

Bb Bb F F
Never said I was a stool pigeon
Bb Bb F F
I never said I was a diplomat
Bb Bb F F
Everybody is under suspicion
C C F F
But you don't wanna hear about that

[Chorus]
'Cause you tease, and you flirt ...


Bb Bb F F C C F F
Better send a begging letter to the big investigation
Bb Bb F F C C F F
Who put these fingerprints on my imagination?

[Chorus]

You can please yourself but somebody's gonna get it
You can please yourself but somebody's gonna get it
