Verse 1:
G          C
When I was a lad of three-foot-three
D          G
Certain questions occurred to me
   G           C
So I asked me father quite seriously
  D              G      D
To tell me the story 'bout the bird and bee
  G              C
He stammered and he stuttered pathetically
D              G
And this is what he said to me
