A minorAm    FF    E MajorE       A minorAm   FF    E MajorE
 In the woods of Northern Michigan, he made his home
A minorAm    FF     E MajorE          A minorAm    FF  E MajorE
 Didn't ask much from the world, just wanted to be alone
A minorAm      FF      E MajorE         A minorAm      FF   E MajorE
 He got his first real blade at thirteen; that's when it all began
A minorAm        FF    E MajorE       A minorAm      FF    E MajorE
 And soon the creatures of the forest called him "Whittlin' Man" - yeah!

    A augmentedA            Esus4Esus4
 He whittled all day and he whittled all night
    C5C5                G5G5
 He whittled, whittled, whittled everything in sight
    A augmentedA             Esus4Esus4
 He whittled on a stick and he whittled on his shoe
       C5C5           G5G5
 And if you come too close, gonna whittle you too

D5D5       Bb majorBb       D5D5
 Keep a safe distance if you can
            Bb majorBb      C5C5
 'Cause you're never safe around Whittlin' Man

 Had a stump to sit on; had some wood, had his trusty knife
 Whittled out a house, a car, and he whittled himself a wife(Such a beautiful wife!)
 Whittled out four kids, a swimming pool and a big leer jet
 And so he wouldn't miss Saved By The Bell, when he whittled a T.V. set - yeah!

 He'd whittle if its light, and he'd whittle if its dark
 And if Noah was around, well he'd whittle him an ark
 He'd whittle something new and he'd whittle something old
 He'd whittle something hot and he'd whittle something rather chilly


 Keep a safe distance if you can
 'Cause you're never safe around Whittlin' Man


 Some say "Whittlin' Man's a genius", still others say "He's just dumb"
 He whittled off a foot, an ear, three fingers and his left thumb... Boy, is he dumb!
 That won't stop him, no it won't - he'll whittle through thick and thin
 And once he's whittled everything, he'll just whittle it all again - yeah!


 He'd whittle if it's white, and he'd whittle if it's black
 And he'd whittle on a duck 'til the duck can't quack
 He'd whittle if it's dry, and he'd whittle if it's juicy
 Whittled on Desi and he whittled on Lucy
 Whittled JFK and he whittled Jackie O
 Whittled old Larry and Curly and Moe
 And he whittled Frank Zappa and he whittled Tipper Gore
 Whittle, whittle, whittle 'til he can't no more
 Whittled Shamu and he'd whittle on Jaws
 Whittled the Easter Bunny and he whittled Santa Claus
 He'll whittle, whittle, whittle just fast as he can
  C5C5             G5G5       A augmentedA
 Whittle till he's dead - he's the Whittlin' Man...
