Intro
G#7 C# F# C# G#7 C#
[Verse 1]
G#7
I write songs about politicians
C# F#
Corruption and sedition
C# G#7
My songs they tiptoe over the line
C# G#7
My lecture in aptness
C# F#
My political incorrectness
C# G#7 C#
Mea culpa, all these songs, they are mine
[Verse 2]
F7
I may reach a crescendo
A#m
With a touch of innuendo
D# G#
I throw in an item of news
C# G#7
There'll be songs of deep depression
C# F#
Like a karaoke session
C# G#7 C#
And I might do a song about you
[Interlude]
F# C# G#7 C#
[Verse 3]
G#7
There'll be one for my friend, Lorna
C# F#
She lives just 'round the corner
C# G#7
Now Lorna only ever listens to the blues
C# G#7
I have one for a friend in Chester
C# F#
Whose particular friend, Lester
C# G#7 C#
Has just left him to go back on the booze
[Verse 4]
F7
This over way inquisition
A#m
I'm an incompetent magician
D# G#
I fail to saw my woman in two
C# G#7
While acting arty-tarty
C# G#7
At some late-night tinker's party
C# G#7 C#
So I might do this song about you
[Chorus 1]
G#7 C#
But I want to know what brings you here tonight
G#7
I want to know what brings you here tonight
C#
You see, I'm up here, you're over there
F#
Well, you could be home in your easy-chair
C# G#7 C#
I want to know what brings you here tonight
[Chorus 2]
F#
Was it some smooth old talk?
C#
Or did you just take the dog for a big long walk?
F# G#7
Or did you just sneak out behind your wife?
N.C.
Oh no, you would not do that
C#
I want to know, I want to know
F#
I want to know, I want to know
C# G#7 C#
I want to know what brings you here tonight
[Instrumental]
F# C# G#7 C# (3x)
[Verse 5]
G#7
Singing on right, for nada
C# F#
Being seven years old in Ireland
C# G#7
And I won the great big kish and romance
C# G#7
That time in the café on the coast road
C# F#
When delicious Sister Mary Joseph
C# G#7 C# F7
Sidled up to me and begged me for a dance (there ye are)
[Verse 6]
There was the pretty little acrobat
A#m
She gave me peppermint tea and a pretty little hat
D# G#
She did fifteen cartwheels on my floor
C# G#7
That's a topic not too cosy
C# G#7
For a big jack-queen called Rosy
C# G#7 C#
Who's never heard or cried, "Collect them all!"
[Chorus 1]
G#7 C#
But I want to know what brings you here tonight
G#7
I want to know what brings you here tonight
C#
You see, I'm up here, you're over there
F#
Well, you could be home in your easy-chair
C# G#7 C#
I want to know what brings you here tonight
[Chorus 2]
F#
Was it some smooth old talk?
C#
Hey, take the dog for a walk
F# G#7
Or did you just sneak out behind your wife?
N.C.
For the fifth time this week, baby
C#
I want to know, I want to know
F#
I want to know for sure
C# G#7 C# F# C# G#7
I want to know what brings you here tonight
