Julie London

Julie London (born Gayle Peck; September 26, 1926 – October 18, 2000) was an American singer, actress and game show panelist of the 1960s and 1970s. She was best known for her smoky, sensual voice. Her singing career's peak was in the 1950s as a pop and jazz singer, scoring a hit with her 1955 single "Cry Me a River". In the three and a half decades of her acting career, she co-starred opposite Gary Cooper in Man of the West (1958). Before her retirement, she later achieved renewed success with the female lead role of nurse Dixie McCall in the 1970s medical drama Emergency! (1972–1979), co-starring her best friend Robert Fuller and her real-life husband and best friend Bobby Troup, and produced by her ex-husband Jack Webb. more »

Hey, little girl, comb your hair, fix your makeup --

Em7          A7        G/B     A7
Soon he will open the door.

F#m7          B7            F#m7          B7
Don't think because you've a ring on your finger

F#m7        B7     F#m7          B7
You needn't try anymore,

    Bm7-5        E7    Bm7-5       E7
For wives should always be lovers, too;

C#m7-5     F#7            C#m7-5            F#7
Run to his arms the moment he comes home to you,

   Bm7-5   FM7  E7      E7 alt     G/B      A7
I'm warn - ing you...


Em7       A7             G/B          A7
Day after day, there are girls at the office,

Em7          A7        G/B    A7
And men will always be men;

F#m7           B7            F#m7          B7
Don't send him off with your hair still in curlers --

F#m7        B7        F#m7      B7
You may not see him again.

Bm7-5            E7    Bm7-5       E7
For wives should always be lovers, too,

C#m7-5     F#7            C#m7-5            F#7
Run to his arms the moment he comes home to you;

    Bm7-5 FM7   E7     E7 alt     G/B       A7
He's al - most here.


Em7         A7           G/B            A7
Hey, little girl, better wear something pretty,

Em7             A7      G/B       A7
Something you'd wear to go to the city,

    F#m7        B7               F#m7             B7
And dim all the lights, pour the wine, start the music,

Em7          A7        D      D6
Time to get ready for love,

Em7         A7     F#m7        B7
Time to get ready, time to get ready,

Em7         A7         D       D alt - D6
Time to get ready for love.
