Misc Musicals – Naughty But Nice - Baileys For Breakfast (Guitar)

  F                              Eb
A man goes out into the fray, to do his job and make his pay

  Dm                              C
Until he finally earns his day of rest.

    F                                  Eb
And so it’s right that once a year, we get to raise a glass of cheer

    Dm                                  C
And thank our lucky stars that we’re so blessed.

         Bb                       C                   Dm
When the kids have ripped all the wrapping from their presents

          Bb                 C            F
There’s a peaceful kind of a glow that is warm and pleasant

        Bb            C          A            Dm
There’s eggnog on the table, and fresh coffee brews

    Eb                    C
But this is the morning I choose…

            F               Eb
Baileys for Breakfast.

                       Dm             C
I’m having Baileys for Breakfast.

     F                                    Eb
Then soon we’ll gather up the clan, We’ll pile into the minivan

      Dm                             C
We’ll celebrate with Gramps and Gran today.

        F                                  Eb
There’s lots to drink and tons of food, To not partake would just be rude

    Dm                           C
And since I’m in a mellow mood I say,

     Bb                   C                  Dm
Go ahead kids you can eat all your Christmas candy.

        Bb               C           F
I’ll be cozy here in the den sipping cherry brandy.

        Bb            C         A              Dm
There’s turkey in the oven, the shortbread’s a treat.

    Eb                 C
But simple joys cannot compete…

                 F               Eb
With Baileys for Breakfast

                  Dm             C      C#
I had Baileys for Breakfast

          G#                  Eb                        Bb           C#
And yes I confess, I drink to excess, when Christmas is here.

                G#                     C
So judge if you must, it’s just once a year.

    F                                    Eb
I’m very glad on nights like these, that I can hand my wife the keys,

    Dm                                   C
And ask contritely if she’d please drive home.

     F                                  Eb
Then when the kids are fast asleep, and she is safely counting sheep

     Dm                              C
It’s down the stairs I softly creep alone.

      Bb               C                   Dm
And I guess it’s not a surprise she wasn’t frisky,

        Bb                 C             F
So I’ll end this wonderful day with some irish whiskey

       Bb                C                A            Dm
Or the gin I keep in the cupboard, or the scotch in my flask

   Eb                       C
On Christmas Day all that I ask…

               F             Eb
Is Baileys for breakfast.

                   Bb
I want Baileys for breakfast.

              C           F
Thank God for Baileys for breakfast.
