Loudon Wainwright III – The Untitled Hardy Boys At The Y (Guitar)

Am                                      C E   Am
Joe met Frank whilst working out at the Y M C A.

                                            C             E        Am
The bench presses and the forearm curls are what got them off that day.

       D
On the floor of a darkened weight room.

       E                  E7
For an hour these two did lay.

       Am                               C          E     Am                E     E7
In the distance they heard others basketball their lives away, their lives away.

      Am                        C             E       Am
Their workout being over to the showers these two did go.

                                           C        E       Am
In the shower room they showered and Frank gave his soap to Joe.

  D                                   E                  E7
A varicose veined tired exec, what to think just did not know.

      Am                                C      E    Am          E     E7
Frank asked his chum to do his back and places down below, down below.

   Am                                   C            E      Am
To Frank's request Joe did agree with a Times Square sleazy smile.

                                     C         E           Am
The gaping mouths of washed up jocks could not cramp Joe's style.

D                                  E            E7
Fondling done with soaped up hands can indeed beguile

       Am
It was Greek to them and they came again

C        E       Am            E    E7
Trashing on cold tile, on cold tile.

     Am                              C      E      Am
They strolled around the locker room taking in the sights.

       C          E             Am
Out of habit they checked their heights.

  D                                    E                 E7
Together they squeezed blackheads underneath fluorescent lights.

     Am                                C       E    Am             E      E7
Then Frank performed a modern dance in Joe's bikini tights, bikini tights.

Am                                    C   E      Am
Joe and Frank they left the 'Y' their exercising done.

                                  C        E    Am
They ambled down West 63rd, their love had just begun.

       D                                E                  E7
Back inside a dad tied sneakers for his six year old young son.

     Am                                  C      E        Am           E    E7   Am
And around and around the indoor track a pretty girl did run, she did run.
