G Bm Em Bm G
Joseph and Alexander rode their flaming swans
Bm Cmaj7 [ch]Cmaj7/C#[/ch]
above Miss Dovepost and her
D (barre) D7 B7 Em C C/G C C/G
loudmouth niece, who had a fear of geese and who even in a corset
D D/C D/A
looked remarkably obese
G Bm Em Bm G Bm Cmaj7 [ch]Cmaj7/C#[/ch]
Joseph and Alexander redirect their swans left to take a gander
D (barre) D7
at the funnel nosed threes
B7 Em
in the Pekingese trees
C C/G C C/G
who are normally a nervous sort
D D/C D/A
but now seem quite at ease
Cm6bb5 G Gaug F#dim D (barre)
Joseph and Alexander are brothers and best friends
D Fmaj7 Cm
the wonderful adventures that they share together never end
C#m7 D/A A (barre)
be sure to send a smile for me and Dave
D
to wherever they're pretending to be
C#m C#m7
I hope they keep a journal
F#
and take lots of photographs
Bm D A (barre)
of all the funny things they see
G Bm Em Bm
Joseph and Alexander
G Bm Cmaj7 [ch]Cmaj7/C#[/ch]
approach the nest of the speckled salamander
D (barre) D7 B7 Em
who with utmost care is knitting thermal underwear
C C/G C C/G
she smiles and hollers up
D D/C D/A
"These are for my grandchildren to wear."
G Bm Em Bm G
Joseph and Alexander feeling tuckered
Bm Cmaj7 [ch]Cmaj7/C#[/ch]
now decide to meander
D (barre) D7
back into their beds
B7 Em
and kiss their swans on the head
C C/G C C/G
but before going to sleepy land
D D/C D7
Joseph turned and said
N/C
"Agates, I love you."
Alexander yawned and said
C#m Cm Bm7
"Joseph, me too, I love you."
