At Home, At Work, At Play  Sparks






 


 Lyrics & music by Ron Mael (1974)


 Album: Indiscreet


 Key: E major


 Tempo: Slow, ominous 4/4 beat


 Vocal range: High tenor to falsetto (C# to high B)


 Vocalist: Russell Mael


 


 Intro: Chromatic fourths, slightly Oriental effect


 D#-E/A#-B/D#-E (repeat)


 


 I know you're [(B)]unav[(A)]ailable from [(E)]dusk to dawn


 Or if you [(B)]were a[(A)]vailable you would[(E)] bring along


 A lot of [(B)]what could [(A)]only be a [(C#m)]hindrance to me


 I ain't a [(B)]glutton [(A)]for a lot of [(F#)]sweaty compa[(C#)]ny


 


 CHORUS:


 [(A)]You gotta catch her while she's still at [(E7)]home


 You gotta catch her while she's still at [(A)]work


 You gotta catch her while she's still at [(E7)]play


 The only way is at home, work or [(A)]play!


 


 [(F#m)]Time really flies when it ain't that much [(C#m)]time


 You'd better shave half your face at a [(F#m)]time


 And brush the front of your teeth, leave the [(C#m)]rest


 And be with her when she's not with the [(F#m)]rest


 


 [(E)]Stop! There's gotta be a million girls like her


 Though I can't think of [(C#m)]one ...


 [(D)]So you [(E)]catch her while she's [(F#m)]still at [(E)]home


 And you catch her while she's [(F#m)]still at [(E)]work


 And you catch her while she's [(F#m)]still at [(E)]play


 


 (Idem, see first verse)


 Don't let her calendar be any cause to pout


 There is a bit of time when there are few about


 I'm gonna skirt the issue of her popularity


 And just avail myself of all the time that she is free


 


 CHORUS (repeat, except for last line)


 'Cause half the day she's at home, work or play


 


 (Idem, see second verse)


 And time is fleeing the scene of the crime


 The act of passing out wrinkles and lines


 To ev'ry person regardless of race


 To ev'ry person regardless of face


 


 Stop! There's gotta be a miilion girls like her


 Though I can't think of one ...


 So at home she says you butler well


 And at work she says you're typing well


 And at play she says you caddie well


 


 At home, at work, at play (repeat)


 Stop! There's gotta be a million girls like her,


 Though I can't think of one ...


 So you ... etc.


 


 (Idem, see first verse)


 I'm gonna love you under incandescent light


 I'm gonna love you under fluorescent light


 The glaring sun above should not inhibit us at all


 I'm very glad to know that your libido never palls


 


 Stop! She's unique, especially at home


 When you're butler, maid, and often cook


 And at work together juggling books


 Or at play between the tennis sets


 Or at play before she's placed her bets


 Or at play while she's still slightly wet


 Or at play while she's still dripping wet


 


 At home, at work, at play


 At home, at work, at play


 At work!
