[Intro chords and riff plays over verses]

It's at times like this  the great heaven knows 
That we wish we had not so many clothes
So let's loosen up with a playful tease 
Like all lovers did through the centuries

           A                 E
We're just following ancient history 
     F#m                    A
If I strip for you will you strip for me? 
           A                 E
We're just following ancient history 
     F#m                    A
If I strip for you will you strip for me? 
 
Uh-huh-huh

When it gets so hot, the end of the day 
You may find your clothes getting in the way
If a pretty dress hides your true desire
Fold it nice and slow, throw it on the fire

           A                 E
We're just following ancient history 
     F#m                    A
If I strip for you will you strip for me? 
           A                 E
We're just following ancient history 
     F#m                    A
If I strip for you will you strip for me? 
 
Uh-huh-huh

We don't need to see what the butler saw
Or a mirrored room with a mirrored floor 
All those sneaky looks gazing down on you
Are no substitute for our rendezvous

           A                 E
We're just following ancient history 
     F#m                    A
If I strip for you will you strip for me? 
           A                 E
We're just following ancient history 
     F#m                    A
If I strip for you will you strip for me? 
 
Uh-huh-huh

It's at times like this the great heaven knows 
That we wish we had not so many clothes 
So let's loosen up with a playful tease 
Like all lovers did through the centuries

If you think it's cheap or a bit risqué
Please don't say a word I'll just slip away 
I am not a man who believes in lies 
Like an octopus with big x-ray eyes

[Below played with same chords as instrumental section]
B                  F#                  G#m            B
Don't freeze up gi-irl, you're looking quite a sight
B       F#             G#m          B
Be generous, I want it all tonight! Hyoo, hyoo. 

[Repeat above over repeating chorus to fade]
