---------------------................
*from 'The Specials' (1979)*
Intro:
(Spoken):
(n.c)
Court in session. What do you mean; "Oi, oi, oi"?
Must have court in session. Order.
(Spoken over E A B):
My name is Judge Roughneck,
And I will not tolerate any disobedience in my courtroom.
Rude boy, you have been brought in front of me,
And charged with smashing this woman's window.
Before I sentence you; what have you got to say in your defence?
Verse 1:
I was [E]walking down the [A]street, one [B]night,
When I [E]saw her silhouette in a [A]bathroom [B]light.
[E] Her way of life, baby; [A]nothing to [B]hide,
With her [E]frosted glass shattered curtains [A]open [B]wide.
Chorus 1:
[D] Naked [A]woman, [C]naked [G]man,
[D] Where did you [A]get that [C]nice sun-[G]tan?
You [D]live in a [A]castle [C]built of [G]sand,
[D] Naked [A]woman, [C]naked [G]man.
Break:
(n.c)
Naked from your bath, you go naked to your bed.
And I can't stop the hatred running through my head.
Solo:
E A B (x6)
Break:
(Spoken over E A B):
Silence in court. Order.
Rude boy, you have led me to believe,
That you was going out with a girl,
And she left you and married someone else.
So you got drunk and smashed up your ex-girlfriend's property.
I have come to one conclusion;
That is to sentence you to five months in prison.
Before they take you down to the cells,
What have you got to say for yourself?
Verse 3:
He [E]wanted to be something, but she [A]knows he never [B]will.
She's [E]got him where she wanted and for-[A]got to take her [B]pill.
And he [E]thinks that she'll be happy when she's [A]hanging out the [B]nappies,
E A Bb B (n.C)
If that's a happy marriage; I'd pre-fer to be un-happy!
Chorus 3:
[D] Married [A]woman, [C]married [G]man,
[D] Where did you [A]get that [C]family [G]plan?
[D] Mrs. [A]Ewe and [C]Mr. [G]Ram,
[D] Where did you [A]get that [C]lovely [G]lamb?
Coda:
(Half Time):
[D] Naked woman, [A]naked man,
[C] Where did you get that [G]nice suntan? (Order in my courtroom!)
[D] Naked woman, [A]naked man,
[C] Where did you get that [G]nice suntan? (Hush up!)
(Increase Tempo):
[D] Naked woman, [A]naked man,
[C] Where did you get that [G]nice suntan?
[D] Naked woman, [A]naked man,
[C] Where did you get that [G]nice suntan?
[D] Naked woman, [A]naked man,
[C] Where did you get that [G]nice suntan?
[D] Naked woman, [A]naked man,
[C] Where did you get that [G]nice suntan?
(n.c)
Naked woman, naked man, where did you get that nice sun-tan?
(Take him away!).
