Madness - In The Middle Of The Night
[G]Nice man g[Am]eorge news[Bm]agent on the [Am]corner

[G]He whistles timeless t[Am]unes as he [Bm]saunters [Am]down the street
[G]Springs in his [Am]legs and [Bm]elastic in his[Am] feet.
[Am]But in the middle of the [E]night
[Am]He steals through your [E]garden
[Bm]Gives your h[F#]osiery a fright
And [Bm]doesn't say [F#]pardon.
As [Am]soft as a [E]breeze
With an [Am]arm full of [E]underwear
On his [Bm]hands and [F#]knees
Dreams [Bm]about the [F#]knicker scare.

Before[Bm] the dreaded[F#] sign.
When the cl[Am]ock strikes e[E]ight

Filling [Bm]underwear with [F#]dread.

And [Bm]saw his own [F#]face.
