G D Em C D

[Verse 1]
G      D             Em                    C
People bug me when they interrupt me with calls
     D
And unannounced visits
    G          D             Em                     C
And on top of that when they chat about nothing at all
    D
And I ask what is it?


[Chorus 1]
  C
I do have a lot to do
G
Can you return at two?
C                      G
I will not be here by then
      C
Just leave what you need me for
G          Em
On a note on my door
   A                  D
So I can ignore it, my friend


[Verse 2]
   G            D                Em                      C
You may think it maddening when you ring my answering machine
     D
And I'm right there listening
     G           D       Em                  C
But I'd like to hire my own secretary who's mean
 D
Someone who says things like


[Chorus 2]
C
Mr. Mayer can't be reached
G
He is not in, you see
C                        G
He's in a meeting 'till ten
     C
I suppose I could take your name
G           Em
Who are you anyway?
A                        D
Please never call here again


[Verse 3]
   G     D      Em                     C
If I see you before you see me in the hall
      D
Then while you're not looking
G             D        Em                        C
I'll find the nearest bathroom and hide in the stall
        D
'Till I think the coast is clear


[Chorus 3]
C
Then I will take a peak
G
And, if you're gone, I'll sneak
C                    G
Back to my private abode
C
There in my world of one
G        Em
I have a lot more fun
  A                        D
Because people bug me you know

[Chorus 4]
  C
I do have a lot to do
G
Can you return at two?
C                      G
I will not be here by then
      C
Just leave what you need me for
G          Em
On a note on my door
   A                  D
So I can ignore it, my friend

[Outro]
G      D             Em                    C
People bug me when they interrupt me with calls
     D
And unannounced visits
    G          D             Em                     C
And on top of that when they chat about nothing at all
    D           D7
And I ask what is it...
   C       G
today?
