[Verse 1]

G                      C     G
When I was young, my father said
G                      C       G
Its time the children went to bed
G                 C      G
We would always cry and roar
G                         D        G
I wanna stay up just a little bit more

[Chorus]

G                   C
A little bit more, a little bit more
G                     D
Not very much but a little bit more
G                    C
A little bit more, a little bit more
G                    D
Not very much but a little bit more


[Verse 2]

G                    C      G
And when the morning came along
G                     C      G
You could hear that same old song
G                        C       G
When there came a knockin on the door
G                        D        G
I wanna lie on just a little bit more


[Chorus]

G                   C
A little bit more, a little bit more
G                     D
Not very much but a little bit more
G                    C
A little bit more, a little bit more
G                    D
Not very much but a little bit more


[Verse 3]

G                   C     G
I met a girl called Mary Rose
G                       C     G
I says young girl can I kiss yer nose
G                   C      G
She says I met yer likes before
G                        D        G
All that cha want is a little bit more


[Chorus]

G                   C
A little bit more, a little bit more
G                     D
Not very much but a little bit more
G                    C
A little bit more, a little bit more
G                    D
Not very much but a little bit more

[Verse 5]

G                           C      G
The barman cries, there’s no more beer
G                          C      G
Pick up yer drinks and get outta here
G                       C         G
Still you see them hangin on the door
G                        D        G
Hopin to get in for a little bit more


[Chorus]

G                   C
A little bit more, a little bit more
G                     D
Not very much but a little bit more
G                    C
A little bit more, a little bit more
G                    D
Not very much but a little bit more

G  C  G  D  G

[Verse 6]

G                       C     G
And when yer days are nearly done,
G                 C     G
Before you cross that rubicon
G                    C      G
The doctor says yer time is over
G                               D         G
But you pray to the lord for a little bit more


[Chorus]

G                   C
A little bit more, a little bit more
G                     D
Not very much but a little bit more
G                    C
A little bit more, a little bit more
G                    D
Not very much but a little bit more

[Verse 7]

G                     C    G
And so my friends we must agree
G                  C     G
Maybe you are just like me
G                     C      G
That is why we’ll sing one more
G                           D         G
For all of us like just a little bit more

[Interlude]
G  C  G  D  G

[Chorus x 2]

G                   C
A little bit more, a little bit more
G                     D
Not very much but a little bit more
G                    C
A little bit more, a little bit more
G                    D
Not very much but a little bit more
