Intro
D7 G C G D7 G
[Verse 1]
D7
I write songs about politicians
G C
Corruption and sedition
G D7
My songs they tiptoe over the line
G D7
My lecture in aptness
G C
My political incorrectness
G D7 G
Mea culpa, all these songs, they are mine
[Verse 2]
B7
I may reach a crescendo
Em
With a touch of innuendo
A D
I throw in an item of news
G D7
There'll be songs of deep depression
G C
Like a karaoke session
G D7 G
And I might do a song about you
[Interlude]
C G D7 G
[Verse 3]
D7
There'll be one for my friend, Lorna
G C
She lives just 'round the corner
G D7
Now Lorna only ever listens to the blues
G D7
I have one for a friend in Chester
G C
Whose particular friend, Lester
G D7 G
Has just left him to go back on the booze
[Verse 4]
B7
This over way inquisition
Em
I'm an incompetent magician
A D
I fail to saw my woman in two
G D7
While acting arty-tarty
G D7
At some late-night tinker's party
G D7 G
So I might do this song about you
[Chorus 1]
D7 G
But I want to know what brings you here tonight
D7
I want to know what brings you here tonight
G
You see, I'm up here, you're over there
C
Well, you could be home in your easy-chair
G D7 G
I want to know what brings you here tonight
[Chorus 2]
C
Was it some smooth old talk?
G
Or did you just take the dog for a big long walk?
C D7
Or did you just sneak out behind your wife?
N.C.
Oh no, you would not do that
G
I want to know, I want to know
C
I want to know, I want to know
G D7 G
I want to know what brings you here tonight
[Instrumental]
C G D7 G (3x)
[Verse 5]
D7
Singing on right, for nada
G C
Being seven years old in Ireland
G D7
And I won the great big kish and romance
G D7
That time in the café on the coast road
G C
When delicious Sister Mary Joseph
G D7 G B7
Sidled up to me and begged me for a dance (there ye are)
[Verse 6]
There was the pretty little acrobat
Em
She gave me peppermint tea and a pretty little hat
A D
She did fifteen cartwheels on my floor
G D7
That's a topic not too cosy
G D7
For a big jack-queen called Rosy
G D7 G
Who's never heard or cried, "Collect them all!"
[Chorus 1]
D7 G
But I want to know what brings you here tonight
D7
I want to know what brings you here tonight
G
You see, I'm up here, you're over there
C
Well, you could be home in your easy-chair
G D7 G
I want to know what brings you here tonight
[Chorus 2]
C
Was it some smooth old talk?
G
Hey, take the dog for a walk
C D7
Or did you just sneak out behind your wife?
N.C.
For the fifth time this week, baby
G
I want to know, I want to know
C
I want to know for sure
G D7 G C G D7
I want to know what brings you here tonight
