Wossy,  in two weeks you’ll be gone
 This is my last  opportunity to sing you a song
 So I wanna  ask a favour before
 You get on with your  life
Jonathan,  I wanna make love to you
Wossy  I just wanna make sweet love to you
Just  once, I wanna make sweet love to you
Sweet  love to  your wife
 There’s just something  about her
 That drives me insane
 She’s got that cute  sense of humour
 And a brilliant brain
 But if I’m totally  honest
 My feelings for Jane
 Are mostly  sexual
 Don’t wanna put  you and her
 In an awkward position
 But I know  I’d regret it
 If I didn’t ask the question
 I have talked  to my wife
 And she gave me permission
 We both  have a celebrity shag  concession
 And mine  is Jane
Hers  is Wayne  Rooney
Although  to be fair
 There’s not  much chance of scoring there
Jane,  in two  weeks time
 Your hubby  will be out on the breadline baby
 And surely  you’re not gonna wanna be
Spending  time with a bum
I  know that in a month  or three
 He’ll have weaselled  his way back onto my TV
 But in the meantime,  would you consider  me
 For a little  fun?
 The next 4 verses follow the A - E/A - G/A - D pattern
 (Could switch the G/A for a G for a bit of variety on one or 2)
 Just one night, Jane, would embiggen me
 Just one night, baby, you’ll be diggin’ me
 Just a little dabble in temporary bigamy
 I just wanna make love, sweet love to you
 What I wouldn’t give for just one night with you
 Nothing too weird, just a nice night with a
 Couple of whips and an underwater camera
 I just wanna make a little sweet love to you
 Wossy, you can watch if that’d make you feel better
 That’d make it even more unforgettable
 You can hold the camera and make some bruschetta
 In case I get hungry making sweet love to your wife
 Stop me, won’t you Wossy, if this is getting weird?
 The thought of Jane nuzzling my ginger beard
 I’m just doing a song, like we agreed
 And it just happens to be a song about how I wanna
 Make sweet love to your wife
 Oooh
Jonathan  I’ve always admired you
 I was nervous  about our interview
 But your producers  assured me
 That all I had to do
 Was be totally  honest...with you
 Then mess around in D for a while, if you can do what Tim does, congratulations!

That’d make it even more unforgettable
You can hold the camera and make some bruschetta
In case I get hungry making sweet love to your wife

Stop me, won’t you Wossy, if this is getting weird?
The thought of Jane nuzzling my ginger beard
I’m just doing a song, like we agreed
And it just happens to be a song about how I wanna
Make sweet love to your wife

Oooh

[Dm]Jonathan I’ve always admired you

I was [A/C#]nervous about our interview

But your [Bm7]producers assured me
