[Intro] D A E7 A [Verse 1]
D                    A
Norman and Norma got married in Cromer

E7         A
April 1983

   D                          A
It could have been warmer but Norman and Norma

     E7                       A
Were happy as they'd ever been

     F                   C
They flew to Majorca and swam in the water

   G7                          E7
It felt just like having a bath

    Am           Dm
The piña coladas hit Norma hard

                             G
And she fell into bed with a laugh
And she said: [Chorus]
F   G            Em                   Am
Oh, Norman, it's never ever felt like this before

    F   G            Em                      Am
And oh, Norman, I've never really known your kiss before

   F   E7      Dm7
Oh no, Norman, Norman

[Verse 2]
D                    A
Norman and Norma had three lovely daughters

E7                  A
Nadia, Nora and Neve

D                        A
The firm Norma worked at wouldn't take her back

E7                   A
After maternity leave

     F                     C
They dreamt of Majorca but couldn't afford to

G                   E7
go on Normanâ's salary

Am                          Dm
So they went to Cromer, got double pneumonia

                          G
And Norma remembered when she used to say:
[Chorus]
F   G            Em                   Am
Oh, Norman, it's never ever felt like this before

    F   G            Em                       Am
And oh, Norman, I've never really known your kiss before

   F     G
Oh no, Norman

[Verse 3]
D                       A
Twenty years on and the children have gone

            E7                     A
And they're both at a bit of a loss

        D                       A
They've tried salsa classes and growing tomatoes

    E7                         A
But nothing is getting them off

     F                  C
Then one day in Clacton there's a re-enactment

   G                          E
Of Normans and Saxons, and this

     Am                       Dm
Gets their juices flowing, before long they're going

                           G
And fighting like it's 1066!

        F#
And she says:
[Chorus]
F   G            Em                   Am
Oh, Norman, it's never ever felt like this before

    F   G            Em                      Am
And oh, Norman, I've never really known such bliss before

   F   G      Em    Am
Oh no, Norman
[Outro]
   F    G      Em     Am
Oh no Norman, yeah      oh no no

F            G
no no no no Norman

     Em                   Am
It's never ever felt like this before

    F   E7      Dm7
and oh, Norman, Norman
