B A E
I know you're unavailable from dusk to dawn
B A E
Or if you were available you'd bring along
B A C#m
A lot of what could only be a hindrance to me
B A F#m
I ain't a glutton for a lot of sweaty company
[Bridge]
A*
You gotta catch her while she's still at home
E*
You gotta catch her while she's still at work
A*
You gotta catch her while she's still at play
E*
The only way is at home, work, or play
[Chorus]
F#m
Time really flies when it ain't that much time
C#m
You better shave half your face at a time
F#m
And brush the front of your teeth, leave the rest
C#m F#m*
And be with her when she's not with the rest
N.C.
Stop
G# C#m
There's gotta be a million girls like her, though I can't think of one
N.C.
So,
[Post-Chorus]

B A E
Don't let her calendar be any cause to pout
B A E
There is a bit of time when there are few about

I'm gonna skirt the issue of her popularity
B A F#m
And just avail myself of all the time that she is free
[Bridge]
A*
You gotta catch her while she's still at home
E*
You gotta catch her while she's still at work
A*
You gotta catch her while she's still at play

Cause half the day she's at home, work or play

The act of passing out wrinkles and lines

To every person regardless of race

To every person regardless of face

Stop
G# C#m
There's gotta be a million girls like her, though I can't think of one
N.C.
So,
[Post-Chorus]

At home she says you butler well

And at work she says you're typing well

And at play she says you caddie well

The glaring sun above should not inhibit us at all
B A F#m
I'm very glad to know that your libido never palls
[Outro]
C#5 E5
Stop
D#5 D5 C#5
She's unique, especially at home
E E5
Where you're butler, maid, and often cook
E E5
And at work together juggling books
E
Or at play between the tennis sets
E
Or at play before she's placed her bet
E
Or at play while she's still slightly wet
E
Or at play while she is dripping wet
E/B** E** E/F#**
At home, at work, at play
E/B** E** E/F#**
E/B**
