[Verse 1]
C Em Good morning, Mister Blue, C Em We've got our eyes on you, C Em C Em The evidence is clear that you've been scheming. C Em C Em You'd like to steal away and while away the day C Em Em You'd like to spend an hour dreaming
[Chorus]
C D C D What will it take to whip you into line? C D C D A broken heart? A broken head? C A C A It can be arranged! It can be arranged!
[Verse 2]
C Em Step softly, Mister Blue, C Em We know what's best for you C Em C Em We know where your precious dreams will take you. C Em You've got a slot to fill, C Em And fill that slot you will, C Em Em You'll learn to love it, or we'll break you.
[Chorus]
C D C D What will it take to whip you into line? C D C D A broken heart? A broken head? C A C A It can be arranged! It can be arranged!
[Verse 3]
C Em Be careful, Mister Blue, C Em This phase you're going through C Em C Em Can lead you nowhere else but to disaster C Em Excuse us while we grin, C Em You've worn our patience thin, C Em Em It's time we showed you who's your master.
[Chorus]
C D C D What will it take, to whip you into line? C D C D A broken heart? A broken head? C A C A It can be arranged! It can be arranged!
[Verse 4]
C Em Don't worry, Mister Blue, C Em We'll take good care of you. C Em C Em Just think of it as sense and not surrender. C Em But never think again, C Em That you can think again C Em Em Or you'll get something you'll remember
[Chorus]
C D C D What will it take, to whip you into line? C D C D A broken heart? A broken head? C A C A It can be arranged! It can be arranged!
