John the Wood went out one day

You should have seen the gleam in his eye

As he saw it soon, his, cleaned-up shined-up

I'd rather be with the next-door hairies
A augmentedA        G+G
Simon spied the bathroom door
D MajorD        G+G
In his hand's a herb shampoo

The next to appear was the Mighty Gled
  D MajorD          G+G

'Cause he wears high heels and a snow-white trousseau
A augmentedA            G+G
Five foot three, yet he stands so tall

And on the ground his feet are never

Friends may come and friends may go

But the Fiddle Bill goes on for ever

I quite like a breast of chicken
    D MajorD           G+G
And I'm crazy about aspic and roast quails
    A augmentedA        G+G
But the sight to make my pulse rate quicken
   D MajorD       G+G
Is a dozen nice fat snails
A augmentedA             G+G
On the other hand, there's Pegg on the bass
   D MajorD         G+G
Whose tastes in food are very much wider
A augmentedA            G+G
You'll see a smile light up his face

At a couple of kippers and a glass of cider
A augmentedA          D MajorD
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
A augmentedA          D MajorD
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
