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

Well, you could be home in your easy-chair
B F#7 B
I want to know what brings you here tonight
[Chorus 2]
E
Was it some smooth old talk?
B
Hey, take the dog for a walk
E F#7
Or did you just sneak out behind your wife?
N.C.
For the fifth time this week, baby
B
I want to know, I want to know
E
I want to know for sure
B F#7 B E B F#7
I want to know what brings you here tonight
