Music To Watch Girls By
Words & Music by Sid Ramin & Tony Velona, 1966Recorded by Andy Williams, 1967 (#34)*
Em9 Em9+7
022002 021002
The boys watch the girls
Em7/9 Em6/9 F#7
020002 042002
While the girls watch the boys who watch the girls go by;
Am Am+7 Am7 Am6 F#7 B7
Eye to eye, they solemnly convene to make the scene --
Em9 Em9+7
Which is the name of the game,
Em7/9 Em6/9 F#7
Watch a guy watch a dame on any street in town,
Am Am+7 Am7 Am6 F#7 B7
Up and down and over and across, romance is boss.
Bridge:
E7 Am D G
Guys talk "girl talk", it happens everywhere;
B7 Em F#7 B7
Eyes watch girls walk with tender lovin' care.
Em9 Em9+7
It's keepin' track of the fact
Em7/9 Em6/9 F#7
Watching them watching back that makes the world go 'round.
Am Am+7 Am7 Am6 F#7 B7
"What's that sound?" Each time you hear a loud collective sigh
Em Am Em
They're making music to watch girls by.
Repeat Bridge:
Repeat Final Verse:
The instrumental version by The Bob Crewe Generation reached number 15 the same year, and is probably more widely remembered.
