Lyrics

Takes two to tan go, two to tan go, two to real ly get the (Eb)feel ing of ro mance.

(Bb7)Let’s do the tan go, do the tan go, do the dance of (Eb)love.

(Bb7)You can (Eb)sail on a ship by your (Fm7)self,

(Bb7)take a nap or a nip by your (Eb)self.

(Bb7)You can (Eb)get in to debt on your (Ab)own.

(Adim)There are (Eb)lots of (Ab)things that (Eb)you can (Bb7)do a (Eb)lone.

(Edim)But, (Bb7)takes two to tan go, two to tan go, two to real ly get the (Eb)feel ing of ro mance.

(Bb7)Let’s do the tan go, do the tan go, do the dance of (Eb)love.

(Bb7)You can (Eb)croon to the moon by your (Fm7)self.

(Bb7)You can laugh like a loon by your (Eb)self,

(Bb7)spend a (Eb)lot, go to pot on your (Ab)own.

(Adim)There are (Eb)lots of (Ab)things that (Eb)you can (Bb7)do a (Eb)lone.

(Edim)But, (Bb7)takes (Eb)lone.

(Edim)But, (Bb7)takes (Eb)love.

It takes (Fm7)two,

(Bb7)takes (Fm7)two,

dar ling, it al ways takes (Eb)two.
