[N] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
[G] _ Thank you [B] ladies and gentlemen.
_ [Db] _ [G] _
_ _ [Em] _ _ Thank [G] you. _
_ We'd like to do something for you now.
[B] _
[Gm] We haven't heard a girl [Em] sing [C] it.
[B] And since it's [G] so popular, [E] we'd like to try [Am] and do it for you.
[D] _ _ [G] _
We hope you [C] remember all the words.
[G] _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ [G] Oh the shark _ _ _ _ with his pearly [C] teeth, dear, _ _ and [Am] he shows them [C] _ _ [Bm] _ [G] pearly white.
_ _ _ _ Just a _ _ [Em] jackknife _ [G] has MacGee [Bb] fear, _ [G] _ and he [C] keeps _ [G] it out of sight.
_ _ [Em] Oh the [C] shark _ [G] _ _ [Am] with his [C] teeth, dear, _ _ _ _ [Em] scarlet _ [Dm] billows, _ [G] _ stardew spread.
_ _ _ [D] _ _ [G] Fancy gloves though, _ wears MacGee [Am] fear, _ so [G] there's not a [C] trace _ of red.
[D] _ [Bbm] _ _ Oh _ _ [Fm]
Sunday, _ _ _ [Bbm] Sunday _ morning, [Fm] _ _ _ eyes of [Db] body _ [Bbm] losing _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Bb] _
[Ab] light.
_ _ _ Someone [Fm]
sneaking _ _ round [Bbm] the corner, _ _ tell me could it be, could it be, [Eb] could it be _ [Ab] MacGonagall. _
_ [E] _ Oh [A] what's the next [D] _
[Dbm] chorus _ [Bm] to this song now, _ this is the one now, _ [G] _ I [Gbm] don't [E] know.
_ [A] _ But it was [Gbm] a swinging tune, _ and [G] it's a hit [Gbm] _
[G] too, so [D] we try to [E] do _ _ _ [A] _ MacGonagall.
_ [Cm] _ Oh [Gm] do it [Eb] Miller, _ _ [Gm] _ _ [Cm] oh [Eb] something about cash, _ _ [Cm] yeah Miller, _ he was spinning [Gm] that _ trash.
_ _ And _ MacGee fear, he spins [Cm] like a _ _ sailor, tell me, tell [Bb] me, tell me could that boy do [F] _ [Gm] something _ _
[Dbm] rash.
_ Oh [E] _ Bobby _ Darin and Louis _ _ Armstrong, _ [Dbm] they made a record, _ [Gb] _ oh [Abm] but they did.
_ _ [Gm] And now [Abm] L.L. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Dbm] _ _
Ellis, _ we're making a record _
[Gb] _ _ _ back [Abm] _ tonight.
_ [G] _ Oh _ [Am] Snoopy [C]
Dandy, _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ [F] _ sing _ _ _ _ it, _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Am] just a _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ [Dm] _ janky name.
_ _ _ _ So [Gm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ [Ebm] if you heard, _ _ [Bbm] _ _ yes we swung [Gb] it, _ _ [Bbm] and we tried to, _ [Gb] _ _ [Ab] yes we [Db] sung it.
_ [Ab] You won't [Bbm] recognize, _ _ _ _ _ [Ebm] it's a surprise hit, _ this [Ab] tune, _ come _ back [Db] tonight. _
_ _ [Ab] And so we leave [Gb] you _ [Ab] in _ [Ebm] _ Burlington, _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Ebm] yes we [Ab] swung old Mac, _ [Eb] we swung old Mackey down.
[Db] _ _ [Fm] For the _ _ [Bbm] bands and for the [Ebm] Louis _ _ _ too, we told you look _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _
at [Gb] the Louis and [Db] come _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ back tonight.
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
