Intro
C#7 F# B F# C#7 F#
[Verse 1]
C#7
I write songs about politicians
F# B
Corruption and sedition
F# C#7
My songs they tiptoe over the line
F# C#7
My lecture in aptness
F# B
My political incorrectness
F# C#7 F#
Mea culpa, all these songs, they are mine
[Verse 2]
A#7
I may reach a crescendo
D#m
With a touch of innuendo
G# C#
I throw in an item of news
F# C#7
There'll be songs of deep depression
F# B
Like a karaoke session
F# C#7 F#
And I might do a song about you
[Interlude]
B F# C#7 F#
[Verse 3]
C#7
There'll be one for my friend, Lorna
F# B
She lives just 'round the corner
F# C#7
Now Lorna only ever listens to the blues
F# C#7
I have one for a friend in Chester
F# B
Whose particular friend, Lester
F# C#7 F#
Has just left him to go back on the booze
[Verse 4]
A#7
This over way inquisition
D#m
I'm an incompetent magician
G# C#
I fail to saw my woman in two
F# C#7
While acting arty-tarty
F# C#7
At some late-night tinker's party
F# C#7 F#
So I might do this song about you
[Chorus 1]
C#7 F#
But I want to know what brings you here tonight
C#7
I want to know what brings you here tonight
F#
You see, I'm up here, you're over there
B
Well, you could be home in your easy-chair
F# C#7 F#
I want to know what brings you here tonight
[Chorus 2]
B
Was it some smooth old talk?
F#
Or did you just take the dog for a big long walk?
B C#7
Or did you just sneak out behind your wife?
N.C.
Oh no, you would not do that
F#
I want to know, I want to know
B
I want to know, I want to know
F# C#7 F#
I want to know what brings you here tonight
[Instrumental]
B F# C#7 F# (3x)
[Verse 5]
C#7
Singing on right, for nada
F# B
Being seven years old in Ireland
F# C#7
And I won the great big kish and romance
F# C#7
That time in the café on the coast road
F# B
When delicious Sister Mary Joseph
F# C#7 F# A#7
Sidled up to me and begged me for a dance (there ye are)
[Verse 6]
There was the pretty little acrobat
D#m
She gave me peppermint tea and a pretty little hat
G# C#
She did fifteen cartwheels on my floor
F# C#7
That's a topic not too cosy
F# C#7
For a big jack-queen called Rosy
F# C#7 F#
Who's never heard or cried, "Collect them all!"
[Chorus 1]
C#7 F#
But I want to know what brings you here tonight
C#7
I want to know what brings you here tonight
F#
You see, I'm up here, you're over there
B
Well, you could be home in your easy-chair
F# C#7 F#
I want to know what brings you here tonight
[Chorus 2]
B
Was it some smooth old talk?
F#
Hey, take the dog for a walk
B C#7
Or did you just sneak out behind your wife?
N.C.
For the fifth time this week, baby
F#
I want to know, I want to know
B
I want to know for sure
F# C#7 F# B F# C#7
I want to know what brings you here tonight
