The Mother Hips


Tom: C#m

     A        A Ab G F#    B7
If I flew you           to Honolulu
        E             A
I could do you my new tune
         A      A Ab G F#          B7
but I've chosen           the very lonesome
              E                  A
I suppose the wholesome thing to do


[chours]
       D   B
single spoon
      F#m             A
half asleep in your hotel room
D             B               F#m    A
alone and basically up on the moon
       D   B
single spoon
        A                 F#m
are you stupid? don't you know
              B7     E      A
that it takes two to do the spoon?


[Verse 2]
A                      A Ab G F#           B7
now, I should warn ya            about California
                 E               A
they're quick to scorn ya if you fail
          A        A Ab G F#            B7
to be the coolest             or on the guest list
               E                           A
and you're not foolish you're just kind of pale


[Chorus]
       D   B
single spoon
      F#m             A
half asleep in your hotel room
D             B               F#m    A
alone and basically up on the moon
       D   B
single spoon
        A                 F#
are you stupid? don't you know
              B7     E      A    Ab G F#
that it takes two to do the spoon?


[Verse 3]
B                 B Bb A Ab        C#7
I'd make a major             money wager
                     F#            B
that you've got your pager by your bed
        B         B Bb A Ab              C#7
and I'm sleeping             down in the deep end
                F#          B
when I could be beeping you instead


[Chorus]
       E   C#
single spoon
      G#m             B
half asleep in your hotel room
E             C#              G#m    B
alone and basically up on the moon
       E   C#
single spoon
        B
are you stupid?
          G#
don't you know
              C#
that it takes two
   F#     B      B Bb A Ab
to do the spoon?
              C#

   F#      B  E  B
to do the spoon
A B
