DORIS & EDWIN: THE MOVIE
by Christine Lavin
The [D]first time that she saw him
was in the [G]office canteen
He was [Bb]buying a cup of coffee --
[A]three sugars and double cream
[D]Two weeks later she saw him
at the ele[G]vator banks
His [A]hands were full, she held the doors for
[G]him and he said [D]thanks
Now she's in [Bm]love
For her it doesn't take [F#]much
She's in [Bm]love
But this is not your [A]ordinary office crush
For [Bm]she works in the [D]basement
[G]near the boiler room door
And [D]he works in [A]accounting
on the [G]37th [D]floor
Now I'm not [D]much of a mathematician
but even [G]I can see
That in a [Bb]building of 37 floors
and [A]four thousand employees
Her [D]chances of running into him were really
[G]not that good
Even though she [A]hung out at the canteen and rode the elevator
[G]every spare minute she [D]could
'Cause she's in [Bm]love
And she don't even know his [F#]name (it's Edwin)
She's in [Bm]love
Love can be [A]such a cruel cruel game
For [Bm]she works in the [D]basement
[G]near the boiler room door
And [D]he works in [A]accounting
on the [G]37th [D]floor
(And by the way, did I happen to mention...)
That when this [A]building was constructed
it was [Bm]done improperly
And [A]one day on the fourth floor
there was a [Bm]short in the electricity
It [A]burned up walls and desks and chairs
and [Bm]all the secretaries
And the [A]alarm did not go off until it
[Bm]reached floor 33
Floor thirty-[A]three, floor thirty-[Bm]three
(And on the upper floors people were running and screaming and
jumping out of windows to get away from the flames -- it was
gross)
Now the [A]woman in the basement,
[Bm]she ran up the stairs
[A]Out the emergency exit
[Bm]into the fresh air
[A]She looked up because just then
[Bm]it began to shower
That's [A]when she saw her true love coming...
one [Bm]hundred miles an hour
Oh-[A]oh, Oh [Bm]no....
I'm not [D]much of a mathematician,
but even [G]I can see
The [Bb]chances of him landing on her
were [A]very slim indeed (but he did!)
So they [D]buried them together
the [G]following day
And even [A]now when I ride the elevator
[G]I can hear someone [D]say
She was in [Bm]love
For her it didn't take [F#]much
She was in [Bm]love
But this was not your [A]ordinary office... crush
For [Bm]she worked in the [D]basement
[G]near the boiler room door
And [D]he worked in [A]accounting
on the [G]37th floor
[Bm]She worked in the [D]basement
and [G]he the 37th floor
But [D]fate brought them to[A]gether,
they [G]flirted never[D]more
Nevermore, nevermore...
