SUNRISE IN RICHMOND
Intro: Gm7 C9 x4
Verse 1
Didn’t get back home ‘till 4am in the morning.
Eyes aren’t heavy and no one seems to be yawning.
Pops tells us Frankie thinks he’s a muffin.
A sevlev donut and we all lick out the stuffin.
Chorus
Sunrise in Richmond x 4
Verse 2
230 Swan – the good times are piling.
Love doctor’s new friends – in they’re filing.
Danny stammers ‘cos he’s smiling
Girls are impressed with the wall unit styling
We made it ourselves – and
Chorus
Sunrise in Richmond x 4

Even though there’s heaps and heaps of sugar plum dumplings around
Ebmaj7 Bbm7 Abm7 Gm7
Not a peep from the geek as he finds something’s gonna – beauty’s gunna bring him down.

RED EYE JANE - Bb
RIFF
db-f-ab-bb-db bb ab
db-f-ab-bb-bb
Bb
Dan had a girlfriend
Lived up by Lygon
Half Dutch and half Maltese
So damn fine she nearly drove him to his knees.
Bb
Red Eye-oh. He’s got the Eye-oh.
Db Eb Bb
Eye-oh Eye-oh Singin’ Red Red Red Eye-oh.
Now how can I explain?
We gotta give this girl a name.
She liked a toke and a little smoke
So we’ll call her Red Eye Jane.
Red Eye-oh. He’s got the Eye-oh.
Eye-oh Eye-oh Singin’ Red Red Red Eye-oh.
Dan would try to please her,
This six foot tall Malteser
With olive skin, she’s built for sin
Silky thighs he want to get buried in.
Red Eye-oh. He’s got the Eye-oh.
Eye-oh Eye-oh Singin’ Red Red Red Eye-oh.
Red Eye liked to tan
She always called on Dan
To set in motion the rubbing of lotion
He’s such a helpful man
Red Eye-oh. He’s got the Eye-oh.
Eye-oh Eye-oh Singin’ Red Red Red Eye-oh.
BRIDGE
While Jane is getting oiled up
Dan’s blood is getting boiled up
He gets a tent in his stubbies
He’s packing a chubby
Things are getting hot
Got no time to check if the oil
is extra virgin or not
Probably not.
RIFF
He tries to embrace
She flew up past his face
From her Carlton flat she hit the mat
She went splat on the street below
Red Eye-oh. He’s got the Eye-oh.
Eye-oh Eye-oh Singin’ Red Red Red Eye-oh.
Red Red Red Eye-oh.
Red Red Red Eye-oh.
