C F I am the bringer of your wishes Am Dm/F Your saviour from doing work C F The washer of your dishes Am Dm/F And you'll still get your midday perk C F Estate agent your mansion Am Dm/F And pot of gold C F All the home comforts Am Dm/F Before you're getting tired and old

C F So when you hear me coming Am Dm/F Along halls and up the stairs (E.R.N.I.E.) C F In the back of teapots Am Dm/F In the cupboard, under chairs (E.R.N.I.E.) C F Forget all your wives tales Am Dm/F Of forecasts and dividends (E.R.N.I.E.) C F When E.R.N.I.E. feels vibrations Am Dm/F Only pays out to trusted friends
