Verse 1:

D7          GdimD7
Once a week you kiss my cheek
                G
Once a week you call
F#7
In between you treat me mean
                    Bm F#7
You don't see me at all

D7                     G      E7
I'll admit that you're clev-er
Am         D7          G   Ddim
I'll admit that you're cute
       A7               D       B7
But if I can't have you all the time
    E7                   A7     D   DdimD
I'm gonna build myself a substi-tute

Chorus 1:

     D7       G         D+      E7
I'll take the legs from off the table
              D7        D+      G
I'll take the arms from off the chair
     D7       G    D+       E7
I'll take the body from the sofa
         A7                      D   DdimD
From the mattress I can take the hair

     D        Am
I'll take the face and hands from off the clock
    C              Gdim
And baby, when I'm through
     D7       G
I'll bet I'll get more lovin'
          E7
From that Dum-Dum-Dummy
     A7        D7           G
Than I've been getting from you

Verse 2:

D7              Gdim D7
I won't weep or lose my sleep
               G
If you give me air
F#7
I won't miss my daily kiss
F#7                Bm   F#7
Even if you're not there

D7                  G     E7
I don't care if you leave me
Am           D7      G  D
I'm so tired of your gab
       A7              D    B7
On the day that you go on a strike
    E7             A7     D   DdimD
I'm gonna build my-self a scab

Chorus 2:

     D7       G         D+       E7
I'll take the eyes from any need-le
              D7         D+  G
I'll take the teeth from any comb
     D7       G          D+    E7
I'll take the mouth from off a bottle
        A7                    D    DdimD
And the voice from any gram-o-phone

     D        Am
I'll take the ears from off an ear of corn
    C             Gdim
And baby when I'm through
  D7       G                         E7
I bet I'll get more chummy with that Dum-Dum-Dummy
     A7        D7           G
Than I've been getting with you
