C                       F          C               F      C
I close the office right on time, start the car and get in line
C                                                   G            G-7
And I approach the Franklin Circle stoplight
      G                                          G-7
My mind is working overtime, it's once again decision time
G                      G-7            C
Which direction will I turn tonight


Stoplight please don't take so long, temptation's gettin' mighty strong

The fever in my body moves my arm

Will it go up or down tonight, to make the signal left or right

Left to home or right to Mary's charms
           C-7   F                        G                    C
Chorus:        To the left where dinner's on the table
                     F                    G         C         C-7
                    Set with lots of love most every night
                          F                        G                   C
                    Or to the right where I know I'll be able
                          D            D-7            G          G-7
                    To satisfy my body's appetite
                               F                 G           C          C-7     F
                    Should I go right to Mary's house or turn left and go home
                    F                         G                     C
                    Should I go left to right or right to wrong

(Repeat the chorus and repeat the last line at the end)
