INTRO [spoken]:
This is another very dignified Modern Lovers' song
It's called "Men and Women Together"
Also called "The Mixer", which isn't quite as dignified


[play:  Guitar Figure 1]  [x2]

[play:  Guitar Figure 1 & 2]  [x2]


VERSE:
[Guitar Figure 1 & 2] [x2]
Hey, How does it feel with sex all around?

[Guitar Figure 1 & 2] [x2]
Don't you feel the tension? Don't you feel nervous?

[Guitar Figure 1 & 2] [x2]
If you feel nervous, tell me now


VERSE:
Hey guys, how does it feel with girls all around?
well, how's your self-confidence doin'?
Don't let them fool around


VERSE:
Hey girls, how does it feel to be checked out?
Don't you feel insulted? Aren't you a little bit nervous?
And you notice the smell?


[Guitar Figure 2] [x2]
Tell me now Enough questions


INTERLUDE:
Notes:
The Bass plays various repeated figures in E, similar to GF2, for 32 bars
Then JR starts the spoken part The bass continues
 

[Spoken]
Does that make anyone feel nervous?
Does anyone notice the tension?
The more people now, the more tension
All right at the Mixer?
All right, Modern Lovers, bring it home now


[play Guitar Figure 1 & 2]  [x2]


VERSE:
Hey girls, how does it feel to be checked out?
Aren't you a little nervous and even a bit insulted?
If anyone feels nervous, tell me now
If anyone feels the tension, tell me now
Tell me now, won't you Tell me now


[end on E]
