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

B
You keep pouring when I say when
D#m C#
Come home when your
B
Work there is done
C# B
Just like Mr Benn
D#m
Put your sweet fingers
F#/F F#
D# little closer to the keyboard
D#m F#/F F#
It's hard to read between your lines
B F#
We were the clock hands at eindigt
D#m F#/F F#
