D
Dandy, Dandy
D               Dsus4 D
Where you gonna go   now?
D             Dsus4 D
Who you gonna run  to?
G          D    Em
All your little life
         G      D       Em
You're chasing all the girls.
      G      D          Em
They can't resist your smile.
    G         C     G 
Oh, oh, they long for

Dandy, Dandy
Checkin' out the ladies
Tickling their fancy
Pouring out your charm
To meet your own demands
And turn it off at will
Oh, they long for

Dandy, Dandy
Knockin' on the back door
Climbing through the window
Hubby's gone away
And while the cat's away
The mice are gonna play
Oh, you low down Dandy, Dandy, Dandy

F#                     C#7
Dandy, you know you're moving much too fast,
    F#                  C#7
And Dandy, you know you can't escape the past.
       A                     E7
Look around you and see the people settle down,
      A                   A 
And when you're old and grey you will
    A                 A 
remember what they said
       A                A 
That two girls are too many,
           A                     A 
three's a crowd and four you're dead

Oh, Dandy, Dandy
When you gonna give up?
Are you feeling old now?
You always will be free
You need no sympathy
A bachelor you will stay
And Dandy, you're all right

C      G    D
You're all right.
C      G    D
You're all right.
C      G    D
You're all right
C      G    D
You're all right
C      G    D Dsus4  D
You're all right
