[G]

smooth as the [F] skin on a mellow molecule.
Fellas, no Jubilee would be complete without [G] batting a breeze with that horn of plenty.
Lena, whether nothing could be finer for this piece.
Sighs toward the kilocycles, Lena.
You know, fellas, we here on Jubilee use a language that might sound off the cuff to some of you.
When we dedicate a number to, say, a sad sack jack from Fond du Lac,
a latched-on jack and a khaki sack,
whoo, we say it that way because, well, I guess because we feel it's a little more personal.
We send our hellos and our songs and our laughter,
yes, and our hearts clear around the world to you, wherever you happen to be.
Then we say to ourselves, we know by your letters that in your spare time,
lots of those same fellas hear our jokes and our music,
and that makes us try all the harder to send you week after week
the kind of entertainment that you used to look for back home.
So keep letting us know what it is.
This is your [Eb] program.
[A]
[Ab] [C] [Db] [E]
[Ab] Someday he'll come
[Abm] along, the man I love,
[Ebm]
[Gb] and he'll be big and [Gbm] strong, the man I [Bb] love.
[Db]
[Abm] And when he comes my [Eb] way, I'll do my [G] best [Ab] to [Fm] make [Bb] him stay.
[Db]
[Ab] He'll look at me and [Abm] smile and [Gb] stand,
[Ebm] [Gb] then in a little while [F]
he'll take [A] my [Bbm] hand.
And though it seems [Eb] absurd, I know we both [Ab] won't [Bb] say [Bb] a [Eb] word.
[E]
[Fm] Maybe I [Ab] shall meet him [Db] Sunday,
[C] [F] maybe Monday, [D] [C] maybe not.
[F] [Gm] [Fm] Still I'm [Ab] sure to [Db] meet him one [C] day.
[F] Maybe [B] Tuesday will [Bbm] be my good [A] news [Ab] day.
He'll build a little [Abm] home just meant for [Gb] two,
from which I'll never [Gbm] roam.
Ooh, [Eb] and all else above, [G] I'm waiting for the [Ab] man.
[Gb] Man.
