A# G E E
Back the bus he cussed �Space suits! Blackened boots!
A# G E E
Lad, little Lad,� he sad, �I�ve a tip for you:
A# E G <--once each E
See, what about me: what about her? What about me?�
A# G E E
For five dollars I walked him to his Mom�s house
A# G E E
And on the threshold he said straight and calm,
A# E G <---once each E
�See what about me: what about her? What about me?�
A# G E E
Can�t kiss cousin Chris could knight, turn off the light,
A# G E E
With what why�s we wave. What wish? It came true.
A# E G <---once each E
See, what about me. What about her? What about me.

(4/4 time now)
A - F# A - F#
D5 - E5 (barred on 7th fret throughout) - D5 - E5
A F#
T�ord ta tippy top Tommy tongue-tied talked,
A F#
Tricked Trish tra trance which church chit-chat.
D5 E5 D5 E5
Nana nots no know, so down the firehouse we go.
A F#
Fireman Frank friendly fed fee-free
A F#
Dank dusty doughnuts den da dribble drank.
D5 E5 D5 E5
Driven droopy drunken; in Clinton lake we�ve sunk in.
Interlude(?):
A5 G5
So Tommy, look here what you did:
Bm Bbm
Barnacle Bill�s bound bonus bid.
A F#
My mommy must a made up my mind
A F#
Many months me for Mandy Miller resigned.
D5 E5 D5 E5
Right raise rank rise rust; and how she ever fussed!
A F#
About that out-lout doubt-route scout;
A F#
Seems he liked someone better than her.
D5 E5
Oh! Tommy Trish and Frank
D5 E5
You can talk me to the bank.
A5 G5
So I can bring a little extra today,
Bm Bbm
Prop prince prize proof prize-proof, pry pray.
A F#
When the word of your ward was the sword by your side
A F#
And you dug up the deed in the dump where he died,
D5 E5 D5 E5
You seemed beside yourself; you�re wandering all your wealth.
A F#
�While the warp and the woof of your words were worked
A F#
By perpetually pushing spirits and beers,
D5 E5
Cause the coffin the cradle the curse
D5 E5
Were woven even worse.
A5 G5
Since the �sary sends signs out the fire to whom it may concern:
Bm Bbm
Cause the coffin is for me cause I have nothing to do with it;
A5 G5
And the cradle is for me cause the old dragon attacked me in it;
Bm Bbm
And the purse is for me because I don�t have money nor friends.
THE END
