Put your sweet fingers
Fm G#/G G#
F little closer to the keyboard
Fm G#/G G#
It's hard to read between your lines
C# G#
We were the clock hands at eindigt
Fm G#/G G#
Now you're four whole hours behind
Fm G#/G G#
Put your sweet fingers a little closer to the keyboard

I can't quite see the whites of your eyes
C# G#
Though you bat your eyelids from across the ocean
Fm G#/G G#
And I fall over in their breeze
C# G# D#
I don't bring you spices from the East
C# G# D#
I don't bring you the world's you crave
Fm G#/G G#
'Cos everyday you need a new one
G# C# D# C#
Just like Mr Benn, just like Mr Benn
Fm G#/G G#
Put your sweet fingers a little closer to the keyboard

We pass light bits in the night
C# G#
Though you send your flare to the horizon
Fm G#/G G#
I just stare and blink in your light
C# G#

C# G#
Just like in Mr Benn
D# C#
Just like in Mr Benn
Fm D#

C#
You keep pouring when I say when
Fm D#
Come home when your
C#
Work there is done
D# C#
Just like Mr Benn
