Am                                            G Am
Well it's there at the doorway and out in the street
Am                                            G Am
Drives down the highway and aims at their feet
Dm
It sneaks in the bathroom and plays in the bed
Bm
Sits down to breakfast and shouts out instead
Dm
Upsets the rhythm of buttering bread
E
And it's fun for the head

Am
Do it, do it, do it, do it

Am                                            G Am
In the evenings it hangs out in dance halls and bars
Am                                            G Am
Leaps out of windows and sails by in cars
Dm
It's there in the alcove with whiskey and coke
Bm
Friend of the able and everyday folk
Dm
Blasting a path through the cigarette smoke
E
And talking's a joke

Am
Do it, do it, do it, do it
C            G              Am
