Gm A#/A A#
Put your sweet fingers
Gm A#/A A#
G little closer to the keyboard
Gm A#/A A#
It's hard to read between your lines
D# A#
We were the clock hands at eindigt
Gm A#/A A#
Now you're four whole hours behind
Gm A#/A A#
Put your sweet fingers a little closer to the keyboard
Gm A#/A A#
I can't quite see the whites of your eyes
D# A#
Though you bat your eyelids from across the ocean
Gm A#/A A#
And I fall over in their breeze
D# A# F
I don't bring you spices from the East
D# A# F
I don't bring you the world's you crave
Gm A#/A A#
'Cos everyday you need a new one
A# D# F D#
Just like Mr Benn, just like Mr Benn
Gm A#/A A#
Put your sweet fingers a little closer to the keyboard
Gm A#/A A#
We pass light bits in the night
D# A#
Though you send your flare to the horizon
Gm A#/A A#
I just stare and blink in your light
D# A#
I don't speak in all your tongues

Gm A#/A A#
But what if I appeared as if by magic?
D# A#
Just like in Mr Benn
F D#
Just like in Mr Benn
Gm F
So go if you're going
D#
You keep pouring when I say when
Gm F
Come home when your
D#
Work there is done
F D#
Just like Mr Benn
Gm
Put your sweet fingers
A#/A A#
G little closer to the keyboard
Gm A#/A A#
It's hard to read between your lines
D# A#
We were the clock hands at eindigt
Gm A#/A A#
Now you're four whole hours behind
