Intro chords and riff plays over verses
 
It's at times like this the great heaven knows
That we wish we had not so many clothes
So let's loosen up with a playful tease
Like all lovers did through the centuries
 
A E
We're just following ancient history
F#m A
If I strip for you will you strip for me?
A E
We're just following ancient history
F#m A
If I strip for you will you strip for me?
 
Uh-huh-huh
 
When it gets so hot, the end of the day
You may find your clothes getting in the way
If a pretty dress hides your true desire
Fold it nice and slow, throw it on the fire
 
A E
We're just following ancient history
F#m A
If I strip for you will you strip for me?
A E
We're just following ancient history
F#m A
If I strip for you will you strip for me?
 
Uh-huh-huh
 
We don't need to see what the butler saw
Or a mirrored room with a mirrored floor
All those sneaky looks gazing down on you
Are no substitute for our rendezvous
 
A E
We're just following ancient history
F#m A
If I strip for you will you strip for me?
A E
We're just following ancient history
F#m A
If I strip for you will you strip for me?
 
Uh-huh-huh
 
It's at times like this the great heaven knows
That we wish we had not so many clothes
So let's loosen up with a playful tease
Like all lovers did through the centuries

If you think it's cheap or a bit risqué
Please don't say a word I'll just slip away
I am not a man who believes in lies
Like an octopus with big x-ray eyes

If I strip for you will you strip for me?
