[Cm]
[Bm] [E]
Very few have climbed [Cm] great mountains, [Bm] very [E] few have reached the moon.
[F#m] Discoveries [B] in space, on land [E] and sea.
[A] But fewer [C#m] still have plucked the [Cm] courage [Bm] to face [E] the dangerous unknown.
[C#m]
Beneath the desk [B] of Luke [E] in year three,
[G#] came [Em] the day when Luke declared,
I cannot find my book, you [F#m] see, I've searched my desk of [B] that, you can be [E] certain.
So says the [F#] teacher, I will check, and Luke [E] says to himself,
Oh [F#m] heck, this time you [F#] know he'll really chuck a [E] Burton.
The [A] teacher found six pairs of scissors and half a pack of fizzers,
eighty-nine [F#] rubber bands, a little pot of glue,
a pick-up-a-story book [A] about a secret Mr Chook-haff,
a devin-sanger from [E] nineteen-eighty-two.
He found a bottle full of aftershave, a present that his mother gave,
a soccer ball, a footy [F#] ball, a fiberglass canoe,
a video, a stereo, a bottle full of Juicy [A]-O,
half a pound of sausages [F#] to make an Irish stew,
and [E] all of this [A] is true.
Now [Em] all this came as some [F#] surprise, the class could not believe their eyes.
The teacher [B] stood with eyes [E] and mouth wide open.
Then at [G#] last the teacher [F#] cried, I'll have another look inside,
[A] and soon again in [E] Luke's desk he was gropin'.
[Am] And he found a pack of mouldy bubblegum, half a tin of doggy-chum,
seven dozen rulers and some [E] ham and chicken spread,
a book about some astro [D]-suffipoto plant awards,
an angry [E] brontosaurus and a soggy waterbed,
a mandolin, a violin, a little tin to put them in,
seven tubs of margarine, eleven loaves of bread,
a kangaroo, a cockatoo, a jackaroo from Channel Two,
a band-aid from the con, he cut his finger and it bled.
[A] What a mess!
the teacher said.
[E]
Now when the book [C] could not be found, [F#] the teacher looked upon [F#m] the mound
of all [B] the junk that he had just [E] uncovered.
[F#]
He said to Luke, go take a look upon my desk,
that little book may be there and be finally discovered.
[E]
So Luke walked over to the teacher's desk and he found
[G#] [Am]
twenty pencil packets and some winter woolly jackets,
eighty-seven [E] plastic bags of photo-offer chook,
[Am] a box of apples big and green, a drawing of a [D] thing he'd seen the other teacher's [Em] garbage bin he'd accidentally took,
a tennis racket, hockey stick, a [A] raker, shovel and a pick,
a porno night, a king, [E] a queen, a bishop and a rook,
dirty clothes, a picture frame, some undies with his [D] mother's name and underneath it all,
Luke got [B] his hands upon [E] his [E] book.
[Dm] Next [E] time, that's where [A] he'll look.
It's crook.
