Show me the way to go home, I’m

Toddling down the street

With this little melody
A    B     E
Everyone I greet

A                   D
Old King Cole Was a merry old soul, and a
A                  E
Merry old soul was he; he
A                           D
Called for his wine, and he called for his pipe, and he
A              E        A
Called for his fiddlers three.

E
When they’d had a high old time
A       B           E
All the whole night through
E
What was it that King Cole said
A       B        E
And his fidders, too?

A                D
Buying drinks, a lot of ginks
A                     E
Gathered in a swell cafe; A
A                 D
Scotchman who had quite a few was
A       E      A
Feeling rather gay

E
He kept drinking with each guy
A      B     E
As the hours fled
E
When it came his time to buy
A       B      E
He rose up and said
