(2)__(2) : Hold the E MajorE at the end of the first measure !
Stanza :
--------
RIFF 1 RIFF 1
He came into town with his mandolin
RIFF 1 RIFF 1
Calling all the people and they came to him
Chorus :
--------
RIFF 2 RIFF 1
He said : "I wanna hear all that's pretty"
RIFF 2 RIFF 1
He said : "I wanna hear all that's nice"
And so on :
They laught at him with his mandolin
They left him there with his funny grin
The children of the town then came to him
Magically called with his mandolin
They smiled at him with his mandolin
Their eyes like his were sparkled in
He said : "I wanna hear all that's pretty"
He said : "I wanna hear all that's nice"
They said : "You wanna hear all that's pretty"
They said : "You wanna hear all that's nice"
RIFF 1 (ad lib)
La la la ;)
