Here's hopin' the food don't get cold
E5E5
and the phone don't ring

That thing has a habit

Sometimes that ol' mailman,

He once left me something
E5E5
that sure left me in a fix

That letter said lots of things

and what can I do?

Just like an old movie-star

jumps at a telegram
C5C5
The second he gets it,
E5E5
his brain hears those jail doors slam

an elaborate scam
FF F minorFm
with too many subplots
A minorAm E MajorE
to count on his hands
