[F] [C]
[Dm] [Bb] [C] [F]
[C] [F] Sunday [C] afternoon there's [Dm] something special, it's [Bb] just like [C] a other world.
[Bb]
[C] [F] Jogging [C] in the park is [Dm] my excuse [Bb] to look at all the [C] little girls.
[Bb]
[C] [Bb] I'm not [C] a flasher in a raincoat.
[Bb] I'm not [C] a dirty old man.
[Bb] I'm not gonna snatch you from [C] your mother.
I'm an art lover.
[F] Come to daddy.
[C]
[Dm] [Bb] [C] [Bb] Oh, [C] come to daddy.
[F] Come to daddy.
[C]
[Dm] [Bb] [C] [Bb]
[C] [Bb] Pretty little legs, [C] I want to draw them [Bb] like a Degas [C] ballerina.
[Bb] Pure white skin, [C] like porcelain.
[Bb] She's a work of art, and I should know, I'm an [C] art lover.
[F] Come to daddy, [C] [Dm] [Bb]
[C] [Bb] and I'll [C] give you some spangles.
[F] Little [C] girl don't notice [D] me, [Bb] watching as she [C] innocently [Bb] plays.
[C]
[F] She can't see me [C] staring [Dm] at her, [Bb] because I'm always [C] wearing [Bb] shades.
[C]
[Bb] She feeds the ducks, [C] looks at the flowers.
[Bb] I follow her around [C] for hours and hours.
[Gm] I take [Bb] her home, but that can never be.
[C] She's just a substitute for what's been taken [F] from me.
[C] [Dm] [Bb]
[C] Oh, [Bb] [C] come to daddy, come [F] on.
[C] [Dm] [Bb]
[C] [Gm] [C]
[F] Sunday [Am] afternoon can't [Dm] last forever.
[Bb] Wish I could [C] take you home.
[Bb] So, come on, [C] give us a smile.
[Bb] Before you vanish [C] out of view.
[Bb] I've learned to [D] appreciate you, [A] the way art [Dm] lovers do.
[Bb] And I only want to [F] look at you.
[C] [Dm] [Bb] [C]
