E           C                   G
There was a love affair in this building

The kind of love affair
      A7                              G
Which every respectable building must keep as a legend
E      C                    G
Slowly festering through an innocent "by the way"

Or "have you heard"
C              A7                          E
He was perfect except for the fact that he was an engineer
    C              Am          A7    E    C
And mothers prefer doctors and laaaw-yers
      G         Am
Do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do
          C            A7   E
Do-do-do-do, dum-dum-dum-dum
           C
Yet despite this imperfection
       G
He was clean-looking and respectable-looking
           A7
And you'll never find a mother
              E
Who doesn't appreciate a natural man
E          C            A7                 E
So he grew healthy aloe vera plants by the window
C                    G
Healthy teeth in his mouth
A7                  E
Healthy hair on his head, oh
C          Am              A7          E
He grew healthy wavy brown hair on his head
                        C             Am
The kind, the kind that babies always go for
     A7               E
With sticky little fingers
      G         Am
Do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do
          C             A7   E
Do-do-do-do, dum-dum-dum-dum
   A7      E   A7    E
Ah-dum, ah-dum-da-da-dum
