G+G G7G7 C majorC D7D7
Long, long ago there lived a lady
G+G A augmentedA C majorC D7D7
Simple, but elegant as any on the shore
G+G G7G7 C majorC
She was known for her generous silhouette
Eb7Eb7 G+G A augmentedA
And yet she was known even more for
C majorC G+G
The bathing suit she wore
D7D7
Even tho it was her bathing suit that made her famous
G+G
It was almost heaven sent
A7A7
Many times when it was drying on the line
D MajorD
A augmentedA tourist would mistake it for a circus tent
G+G G7G7
Now she has gone
C majorC D7D7
Now she has left us
G+G A augmentedA
Left with sweet memories
C majorC D7D7
And left with something more
G+G G7G7 C majorC
We've made curtains and handkerchiefs
Eb7Eb7
And clothing for the poor
G+G A augmentedA
From the one bathing suit
C majorC G+G
That your grandma otter wore
G+G A augmentedA
From the one bathing suit
C majorC G+G
That your grandma otter wore
