 G7
You do the laundry
                              E7                 A7
You do the laundry and I'll write you a laundry song
Fm6                             A             D
You do the cooking, honey, and I'll walk the dog

[Verse 2]
G7
You go to market
                          E7                           A7
You go to market and I'll try and behave while you're gone
Fm6                                A            D
You feed the kitten, darling, and I'll mow the lawn
Fm6                                A                G
You feed the kitten, darling, and I'll mow the lawn

[Chorus]
  D          Fdim
Paper sun up above to guide you
   E                 A                 D
Cotton clouds with shades of sky blue
                    Fdim
Everything sweet as candy
           A              D
When you bubble gum the blues

[Verse 2]
G7
You shout in anger
                            E7                 A7
You shout in anger and I'll try and ease your pain
Fm6                             A               D
You cut your finger, lady, and I'll play first-aid

[Verse 3]
G7
New vacuum cleaner
                       E7                     A7
New vacuum cleaner to suck up that nasty old filth
Fm6                             A             D
You do the windows, woman, and I'll pay the bills
Fm6                             A             A
You do the windows, woman, and I'll pay the bills

[Chorus]
  D          Fdim
Paper sun up above to guide you
   E                 A                 D
Cotton clouds with shades of sky blue
                    Fdim
Everything sweet as candy
           A              D
When you bubble gum the blues

[I'm a Cruiser]

[Verse 1]
Gm
I'm a cruiser

           Dm                       Gm
And all I ever want to do is just cruise

[Verse 2]

Know that I love you
Know that I love you

What does your baby do?

I'm a cruiser (you ain't no cruiser)
I'm a cruiser (you're just a loser)
           Dm                       Gm
And all I ever want to do is just cruise
           Dm                       Gm
Yes, all I ever want to do is just cruise
                     F  Gb  G
I'm just a cruiser
