Lah Di Dah

Jake Thackray


Tom: Bm

Dmaj7                          F#7
Now we're agreed that we're in love
                       Bm
We'll have to face the lah-di-dah
A7
The eyewash
Dmaj7                 F#7
All of the fancy pantomime
                Bm
I love you very much
A7
I'll try love

[Verse 1]
G7
I'll bill and coo
          F#7
With your gruesome Auntie Susan
          G7                 F#7
I'll stay calm, I'll play it cool
G7                   F#7
I'll let your tetchy uncles
                         G7
Get me back up, cross my heart
      A7
And I shan't get shirty when they say I look peculiar

[Refrain 2]
Dmaj7                F#7
I'll be nice to your mother
                   Bm
I'll come all over lah-di-dah
A7           Dmaj7
Although she always gets up me nose
F#7             Bm
I love you very much

[Verse 2]
A7          G7                  F#7
And so I'll smile and I'll acquiesce
                       G7
When she invites me to caress
           F#7
Her scabby cat
G7                       F#7                        G7
I'll sit still while she knits and witters cross my heart
      A7
And I shan't lay a finger on the crabby old batface

[Refrain 3]
Dmaj7                  F#7
I'll be polite to your daddy
            Bm
Frightfully lah-di-dah
A7          Dmaj7                 F#7
Although he always bores me to my boots
                Bm
I love you very much

[Verse 3]
A7       G7
And so I won't boo and hiss
        F#7
When he starts to reminisce
        G7                F#7
I won't drop off, I won't flare up
    G7
The runs he used to score
    F#7                          G7
And how he won the war, cross my heart
    A7
But I'll have to grit me teeth when he goes on about his rupture

[Refrain 4]
Dmaj7              F#7
I'll behave at the wedding breakfast
        Bm
I'll be lah-di-dah
A7
So help me
Dmaj7                    F#7
Hearty toasts and crumby jokes
                Bm
I love you very much
A7
So help me

[Verse 4]
G7                         F#7
I'll force a laugh for the flicking photographs
        G7               F#7
So have no fear, I won't turn tail
  G7                       F#7                          G7
I won't run amock when the females chuck confetti in my ears
A7
And cross me heart, love, I'll keep off the pale ale

[Refrain 5]
Dmaj7                 F#7
When we're off on our own
        Bm
No more lah-di-bloody-dah
A7
I promise
Dmaj7                  F#7
We just won't have the time
                       Bm
We won't have time for such
                A7
Such fancy pantomimes
                   Dmaj7
I love you far too much
