DBm When you were a vixen and I was a chump F#mG You looked at me like I crawled from a swamp DBm Now things have a different complexion F#mG I'm the object of your affection FD Much as I don't doubt your expertise FDGD7 Find yourself another hunk to squeeze
Chorus: GBmEm Cause it's too late to come fishing CBmD7 It's too late to come fishing GBmEmA7 It's too late and the fish don't like your bait GDA Tin Pan Ellie better find your way home
I know I had the flair, the clothes Made you look right down your nose But now you want to make a new start I'm so touched by your change of heart But my diary's fit to overflow Find yourself another gigolo
Chorus
I've seen your work in that TV sketch Playing poison women is hardly a stretch And you were type-cast as the Stone Age charmer In that Darwin docudrama I'd say our time has all but disappeared Just like the shine on your fabulous career
