C                       F          C               F      C 
I close the office right on time, start the car and get in line 
C                                                   G            G7 
And I approach the Franklin Circle stoplight 
      G                                          G7 
My mind is working overtime, it's once again decision time 
G                      G7            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 
           C7   F                        G                    C 
Chorus:        To the left where dinner's on the table 
                     F                    G         C         C7 
                    Set with lots of love most every night 
                          F                        G                   C 
                    Or to the right where I know I'll be able 
                          D            D7            G          G7 
                    To satisfy my body's appetite 
                               F                 G           C          C7     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)
