John the Wood went out one day
  D           G
To view the scene from a different angle

He stood and watched a child at play
 D       G
A-tinkling on an old triangle
A           G
Dave the Drum who was passing by
D           G
Bought the toy with a coin he'd picked up
A             G
You should have seen the gleam in his eye
   D         G     A     G
As he saw it soon, his, cleaned-up shined-up

Simon spied the bathroom door
D        G
In his hand's a herb shampoo
A        G
Waiting for the waters raw

So little time, so much to do
A          D

Verse:
  A           G
The next to appear was the Mighty Gled
  D          G
He needs a rest, or at least he said so
  A            G
You probably think that he's flipped his lid
     D           G
'Cause he wears high heels and a snow-white trousseau
A            G
Five foot three, yet he stands so tall
  D         G
And on the ground his feet are never
A          G
Friends may come and friends may go

But the Fiddle Bill goes on for ever

Let's split

Verse:
A       G
I quite like a breast of chicken
    D           G
And I'm crazy about aspic and roast quails
    A        G
But the sight to make my pulse rate quicken
   D       G
Is a dozen nice fat snails
A             G
On the other hand, there's Pegg on the bass
   D         G
Whose tastes in food are very much wider
A            G
You'll see a smile light up his face
   D   N.C.
At a couple of kippers and a glass of cider
A          D
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
A          D
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
