Spreads so easy like peanut butter

Talks the birds from the trees

Keeps her heart for a one man lover

D
Crosses her hands on her knees

    G                     E
She likes her ball on the end of her bat

                                           A
The old man's getting his ’yap yap yap yap yap’
[Chorus]

(Yap, yap, yap) On the doorstep

(Yap, yap, yap) She never keeps a closing time

Smells like the inside of her handbag

Melts her way through your ears

Keeps her colour with a health light suntan

      D
She's never been away for twenty years

    G                       E
Her master's voice with his rolls of fat

        G                     E               A
Sitting with his ear full of ’yap yap yap yap yap’
[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
A
Sings like a turkey up at the piano

D
The white cliffs fading away

    A
The fox takes a trot into a tango

    D
She always has a nice day

    G                       E
She keeps her secrets right under her hat

                         E               A
Until the wind blows it ’yap yap yap yap yap’
[Chorus]
D          E
(Yap, yap, yap) On the doorstep

D          E
(Yap, yap, yap) Under the washing line

(Yap, yap, yap) Every evening

D                   E                     A
(Yap, yap, yap) She never keeps a closing time
