[A] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ [D] _ The bravest animals in the land [G] are Captain Deaky and his [A] band, that's Timmy Toad, Reckless
[D] Rat, Artful Owl and Teddy Bat.
[G#] March to the woodland singing [A] songs that tell how they
are [D] the lightest of all.
_ [G] _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [Bm] _
Watch the forest and evil [G] snakes at the woodland folk awake
in [Bm] fear and trembling every night in [G] case they hear someone about.
Said [F#] Artful Owl, we'll
lie in [Bm] wait and one of us will be the bait, said [C#] Captain Deaky.
Have no fear, [F#] for I alone
will volunteer.
[Bm] No, make it me, said Rattlesnake.
[G] I'll stand there in my reckless hat.
[Bm] When
hissing Sid picks up my trail, I'll just [G] blast him with my tail.
Oh, good [F#] idea, _ _ [B] _ said
Rattlesnake.
I'll be right on the road and [E] when you've overcome this [Bm] issue, we'll rush
along to your [D] assistance.
_ _ [G] _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ [G] Said Teddy Bat, I'll get a wheelie, [D] I'll fly and hide up in
the trees.
[Gm] If Tizzy and Sid should slither by, [D] I'll drop a boulder from the sky.
[G] Said
Artful Owl, the idea is [D] sound, how will you lift it off the ground?
[D] Poor Fatty Bat just
scratched his head.
I haven't thought of that, he said.
[G] Said Owl, the rest of us hold back,
[Em] there's only [Cm] one to give a turn.
[Gm] Said Timmy Toad, I like your plan.
Good [Bm] luck, said Owl,
for you are the man.
So Timmy Toad, his eyes are popping, [D] into the woodland life went hopping.
[A#] Captain Peaky waved his [B] hand, followed with his trusted [G#m] band.
Left Artful Owl and Rectus
Ratt, [D] and above the trees, Peaky went.
_ _ [G] _
_ [A] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [F#]
Stop, said Peaky.
I hear squeaking.
[A#] It's Fatty
Bat, said Owl, he's speaking.
It's all in tone, said Rectus Ratt.
Said Owl, [G] I'll just decide _ _ _ _
A dasher dot, too short, too long.
I'd rather hope he's got it [Gm] wrong.
If we can clearly
see the road, this thing, Sid, [Em] has captured Toad.
[G] Quick, men, said Peaky, no delay.
You
mustn't let him get away.
And leaping off, said, follow me, and ran headfirst into a
tree. _
_ _ Dot, [B] dot, dot, said [Bm] Fatty Bat.
Said Peaky, quick, it's Rectus Ratt.
Said Rectus
Ratt, perhaps we're gaining.
No, said Owl, he says, it's raining. _ _ _
Oh, how they run to
save poor Toad, [Em] for they must find that snake's abode.
[Bm] Guided by old Fatty Bat, [Em] dot, dot,
give the snake.
That's it, [F#] that's it.
Then hissing Sid Flare, their [Bm] spies, were they
too late?
Was he [C#] inside?
Said Rectus Ratt, I'll get a pole [F#] and stop him going down his
hole.
[Bm] They came to sight, the snake came hopping [Em] right past his hole, no time to stop [Bm] it.
Said Rectus Ratt, that's rather funny, [Em] there's something jibing in his tummy.
[F#] Said Captain
Peaky, well I'm [Bm] blown.
Hissing Sid and Swallow and [C#] Toad.
As the snake popped out of sight,
and [F#] hot they chased into the mouth.
[D] _
_ _ [G] _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _ _
[B] At last they found him tired and dizzy, and [G] pulled
out Toad, who said, [B] where is he?
For left alone, I felt quite sick, and hopped [G] into
a hollow stick.
Said [F#] Owl, a clever step to take, jumped [Bm] into that slippery snake.
[C#] That
was brave of Toad, said Rat.
That's [F#] just my sort of plan, said Bat. _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ Said Captain Peaky
and Toad, we'll not see his hissing ever again.
And as they marched off down the road, they
[Em] sang in praise of the timid [F#] Toad.
Above them flew all batty bats, [B] so his wings stretched
out, pipe [E] that, how's idea, that turtle seller, [A] to have a flying umbrella.
_ [D] The bravest animals
in the [G] land are Captain Peaky and his [A] band.
That timid Toad, Rectus Ratt, [D] Heartful Owl
and batty bats, [E] march to the quip and sing songs [A] that tell how many have righted [D] wrong. _
[G] _ _ [A] _ [D] Toad!
_ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ Hey, _ _ wait for me! _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _ _
