Intro: A-D-A-E-A 
 
A            E                  A 
I shaved my face and combed my hair,  
          E                A 
Put on a new pair of underwear 
D                                   A 
  And sat on the porch with my Labrador  
                 E            A 
Like a hundred other times before 
 
A                           E               A 
She changed her shoes and freshened up her face,  
              E          Aao 
Put on some skimpy sexy lacea 
D                                                   Ao|. 
  And finally made her way through the back screen door,  
                      E               A   
We loaded up on the front seat of my Ford 
 
A      D                           A 
And we   went out to dinner and we   drove right back home,  
E                                  A 
  Watched an old movie and drank a   half a bottle of Rum 
        D                    A                        D 
Then we   turned off the tv and we got right down to it,  
           A                 E                      A 
There aint   nothin left to do now that we?ve done it 
     E 
Oh, yes 
 
Instrumental: A-E-A-E-A-D-A-D-A-E-A-E-A 
 
A                  E           A 
It seems like it happens everytime,  
                E                   A 
We get a chance   to reignite that fire 
D                             A 
  We burn it fast and then retire  
                 E               A 
Just before the news on channel five 
 
A       D                           A 
Yeah we   went out to dinner and we   drove right back home,  
E                                  A 
  Watched an old movie and drank a   half a bottle of Rum 
        D                    A                        D 
Then we   turned off the tv and we got right down to it,  
           A                 E                      A-E 
There aint   nothin left to do now that we?ve done it 
 
Instrumental: A-D-A-E-A 
 
A                     E               A 
After all these years  it can get routine,  
                            E                   A 
You can change the order up, or use different names 
D                                            A 
  Try it in the mornin or the middle of the day,  
           E               A 
The end results still the same 
 
A      D                           A 
Oh we   went out to dinner and we   drove right back home,  
E                                  A 
  Watched an old movie and drank a   half a bottle of Rum 
        D                    A                        D 
Then we   turned off the tv and we got right down to it,  
           A                 E                      A 
There aint   nothin left to do now that we?ve done it 
 
         D                          A                        D 
Oh, Lord,  we?ve turned off the tv and we got right down to it,  
               A                 E                     A 
And there aint   nothin left to do now that weve done it 
 
 
Hey, honey, hand me that remote
