A#m C#/C C#
Put your sweet fingers
A#m C#/C C#
A# little closer to the keyboard
A#m C#/C C#
It's hard to read between your lines
F# C#
We were the clock hands at eindigt
A#m C#/C C#
Now you're four whole hours behind
A#m C#/C C#
Put your sweet fingers a little closer to the keyboard
A#m C#/C C#
I can't quite see the whites of your eyes
F# C#
Though you bat your eyelids from across the ocean
A#m C#/C C#
And I fall over in their breeze
F# C# G#
I don't bring you spices from the East
F# C# G#
I don't bring you the world's you crave
A#m C#/C C#
'Cos everyday you need a new one
C# F# G# F#
Just like Mr Benn, just like Mr Benn
A#m C#/C C#
Put your sweet fingers a little closer to the keyboard
A#m C#/C C#
We pass light bits in the night
F# C#
Though you send your flare to the horizon
A#m C#/C C#
I just stare and blink in your light
F# C#
I don't speak in all your tongues
F# C#
So I don't even know if I'll be welkome
A#m C#/C C#
But what if I appeared as if by magic?
F# C#
Just like in Mr Benn
G# F#
Just like in Mr Benn
A#m G#
So go if you're going
F#
You keep pouring when I say when
A#m G#
Come home when your
F#
Work there is done
G# F#
Just like Mr Benn
A#m
Put your sweet fingers
C#/C C#
A# little closer to the keyboard
A#m C#/C C#
It's hard to read between your lines
F# C#
We were the clock hands at eindigt
A#m C#/C C#
Now you're four whole hours behind
