What Was She Doing on the Shore That Night? HSH059

What Was She Doing on the Shore That Night? HSH059

Break into song!

F
Boarding the plane
Dm 
Get in out of the rain
Eb F
Throw a scowl at the girl in the back
F
Suddenly you freeze
Dm
As you stow your valise 
Eb F
What’s the spectacle out on the tarmac?

Bb Eb
Chorus lines of pilots dancing
Ab Am7
Wearing their fancy uniforms
Bb Ebmaj7
All twirling flight attendants
Gm7 
So resplendent
C7 
Never ending!

F
From a trapeze of fire
Dm 
Above the heads of a choir
Eb   F
An acrobat hangs by his teeth
F
Juggling plates
Dm 
By the transom at c gate
Eb F
A top hatted man a la fosse

Bb Eb
A tuba bleats along
Ab Am7  
In the orchestra there by the runway
Bb Ebmaj7
Astride a lighted staircase 
Gm7
Feathery showgirls
C7 
All in a row! Girls! 


F
You must be dreaming 
This is no kind of business trip
Bb
As clouds part like shredded paper
C7
Strings of stars shine out through the vapor

(refrain)

F
Hey! This is your life
Dm
Loosen your tie
Csus4 F
Break into song once in a while
Am
Nobody cares
Dm
Mess up your hair
Gm7
Just don’t stand there
F Dm F
Break into song!
Dm F Cm7
Break into song!

F
There’s a bubbling whirlpool
Dm
Of mermaids and girls
Eb F
Making synchronized gestures in air
F
The security guards
Dm
As they dance on their cars
Eb F
They just smile and wave as you stare
Bb Eb
Three ushers dressed in fezzes
Ab Am7
Beckon to you from the baggage claim
Bb Eb
Astounded you turn around
Gm7
As they enter the plane
C7
Chanting your name

(refrain)

F
You must be dreaming this is 
No kind of business trip
Bb
Although you never learned to dance or sing
C7
You make like fred astaire on the wing

(refrain)
