Intro:
C D G


Verse 1:
             C      D
If you are looking for a special dish
            G
Might I recommend this little fish
             C       D
You overlooked it, well I have a hunch
             G
Sardines on toast make a brilliant lunch

Chorus:
             D
They are so easy and they are so cheap
             G
They got the flavor that goes so deep
                 C
Oh, the landlubber and the fisherman
            D        G
Love the sardines that come in a little can Hey-a-hum!


Verse 2:
        C       D
When I go and I make my toast
              G
You know the topping that I love the most
             C   D
Don't want no honey or no PBJ
            G
No cheddar cheese or a French pâté


Chorus:
             D
But a Brunswick can is a master plan
              G
For lunch they're grand as Grand Manan
                 C
Oh, the landlubber and the fisherman
            D        G
Love the sardines that come in a little can Hey-a-hum!


Instrumental:

G   C  D  G


Verse 3:
            C       D
I love tomato, love the mustard sauce
           G
The soya oil and the cheap cheap cost
                 C      D
They'll call them smokies or the kippercans
          G
I eat with fork or just by hands


Chorus:
              D
When I eat them, I have to loosen up my belt
              G
I feel like a beaver with a shiny pelt
                 C
Oh, the landlubber and the fisherman
            D        G
Love the sardines that come in a little can Hey-a-hum!


Instrumental:
G   D
G   C  D  G


Verse 4:
             C       D
If you are looking for a special dish
            G
Don't need no genie to get your wish
           C      D
Open a can up by the tab or key
           G
Will satisfy, you can thank me


Chorus:
             D
I pack 'em in my suitcase when I leave
            G
I bring back more from overseas
                 C
Oh, the landlubber and the fisherman
            D        G
Love the sardines that come in a little can


Outro:
                 C
Oh, the landlubber and the fisherman

Love the sardines that come in a little can Hey-a-hum!
