Old man Duff was doggone tough why they called him dynamite
                      D7        G7
On the mattress filled with broken glass he rested well each night
  F           C               G7
He combed his hair with a garden rake and ate his vitals raw
  C
He picked his teeth with a horse shoe nail
  G7           C
And shaved his beard with a saw

Old man Duff was very rough and tough as a man could be
  F           C             G7      C
He ate wire nails and the bones of whales and drank gasoline for tea

                   G7        C
Old man Duff had thirteen sons but he beat them all to death
                    D7         G7
He choked all the cops so dog-gone they died from the lack breath
  F         C                 G7
The sheriff went up to arrest old Duff but he made a big mistake

Old Duff picked him up by the seat of the pants
  G7          C
And threw him out in the lake

F        C                  G7
Old man Duff was very rough and tough as a man could be

         G7     C
And his hair hung down to his knees

Lee-do lee-do o-lee-ol-lee-tee O-lee-ol-lee-tee

Verse:
                     G7       C
Old man Duff had a daughter fair but she died a poor old maid
                  D7      G7
Many a man would've courted her but they were all afraid
  F         C                     G7
Old Duff once found a fella with her why they heard him rave and shout
  C                       G7        C
He shoved his fist down the poor man's throat and turned him inside out

Old man Duff lived a thousand years then he died and went below
                D7       G7
When old satan looked at him he smiled and said hello
  F       C                  G7
Now that fire was mighty hot when the put old Duff in there
  C                      G7       C
But he laid right down and he went to sleep and never singed a hair

Chorus:
F                C          G7
Old man Duff was very rough and tough as a man could be
  F            C
Had hair on his chest and he wore no vest
           G7   C
And he looked like a chimpanzee
