A famous dog once came to [Gb] town whose Christian name was Pete.
[Ebm] In pedigree he was three foot long and [Bb] his looks were hard [Bb] to beat.
[Ebm] And as he sauntered down the roads was beautiful to see.
[B] [Abm] His work on every corner, his [Ebm] work on every tree.
He watered every gateway, [Gb] he watered every post.
[Ebm] For fiddling was his masterpiece, yes fiddling [Bb] was his boast.
[Ebm] The city dog stood looking on in deep and jealous rage.
[Abm] To see this simple country dog,
[Ebm] the fiddler of the age.
[Gb] Fiddling Pete, [Ebm] Fiddling Pete.
[Abm] His work on every corner, [Ebm] his work on every tree.
They skipped him over one by one, [Gb] they spelled him two by two.
[Ebm] But no one would be denied, his name stood still [Bb] till they were through.
[Ebm] They snipped him over once again, their praise for him was high.
[B] [Abm] But when one snipped him underneath, [Ebm] Pete fiddled in his eye.
Then just to show the other [Gb] dogs he didn't give a damn.
[Ebm] He sauntered into crotties and [Bb] fiddled on the ram.
[Gb] He fiddled [Ebm] on the onions, he fiddled on the floor.

Behind him all the city [Gb] dogs debated what to do.
[Ebm] So they had a fiddling carnival to see the [Bb] stranger through.
[Gb] [Ebm] They showed him all the fiddling force they knew around the [B] town.
[Abm] And started out with many winks, [Ebm] to where our hero Dow.
Pete was with them every [Gb] time with Bigger and with Them.
[Ebm] A thousand fiddles more or less were just [Bb] the same to him.
[Ebm] On and on went Noble Pete with hind leg kicking [B] high.
[Abm] Most were lifting legs in bluff, [Ebm] or fiddling mighty dry.
[B] [Gb] Fiddling Pete,
[Ebm] Fiddling Pete.
[Abm] His work on every corner, his work [Ebm] on every tree.
On and on went Noble Pete, [Gb] he watered every sun hill.
[Ebm] Till all the city fiddling chumps were [Bb] fiddled to a standstill.
[Eb] Then Pete and Exit Fish and gave [Bbm] on all the ways to [B] fiddle.
[Abm] Like little drips and little drops, [Eb] and then [Ebm] the fancy dribble.
And all this time the [Gb] country dog did neither wink nor grin.
[Ebm] Galey fiddled out of town as he [Bb] had fiddled in.
[Gb] [Ebm] The city dogs said so long chump, you're [Eb] fiddling God as Pete.
