Bb
When the cock crows in the morning

On another red letter day

I'll be a busy bee, honey

I'll be working hard for my pay

And in the cold light of the evening
Bb
When you just can't find your way
Eb Bb
I'll be a stargazer, darling
Eb Bb
I'm gonna search 'til we find our way
Bb
And when the apple trees are blooming

And there's a new child on the way

I'll be an ass-beater, honey

I'm gonna work hard night and day

And when the blue night blacks above you

And your old ghosts come out to play

I'll be Dan Aykroyd, honey

I'm gonna chase those ghouls away
Bb
But when the long nights twist and turning
Bb
And even sleep won't find you, babe
Eb
I'll tell you stories from the city
Bb
I'll take you half a world away
[Chorus]
Eb
I'll be waiting

Oh, waiting patiently
Eb
No hesitating

Oh, when you call me I'll be ready
Eb
I'll be waiting

Oh, when you call me I'll be ready
