[Ab] Righto, kick it in the guts Trev.
[Fm] [Cm] [Ab] [Eb] Gumboots they are [Db] wonderful, gumboots they are swell,
Cos they [Ab] keep out the [Eb] water and they keep in the smell.
[Ab] And when you're sitting round at [Db] home, you can [Ab] always tell,
When one of the Trevs has taken off his gumboots.
If it weren't [Eb] for your [Db] gumboots, where would you be?
You'd [Ab] be in the [Eb] hospital or infirmary,
[Ab] Cos you would have a dose of the [Db] flu or even [Ab] pleurisy,
If you didn't have your feet in your gumboots.
[F]
[G] [Ab] Now there's rugby boots and racing [Db] boots and boots for [Ab] drink and rum,
But the only boots I'm never [Eb] without are the ones that start with gum.
[Ab] I've got short ones and long [Db] ones and some up [Ab] to me belt,
I'm never dressed till I've got on me gumboots.
If it weren't [Eb] for your [Db] gumboots, where would you be?
You'd be [Ab] in the hospital [Eb] or infirmary,
[Ab] Cos you would have a dose of the [Db] flu or [Ab] even pleurisy,
If you didn't have your [Eb] feet in your [Ab] gumboots.
[Eb] When
[Ab] [Eb] I sing at the opera, [Db] my boots are a must,
They help me [Ab] hit the high notes and [Eb] protect me feet from a dart.
[Ab] They keep the water well away, [Db] so me voice won't get [Ab] no rust.
You would not never see me [Eb]
without me [Ab] gumboots.
If it weren't [Eb] for your [Db] gumboots, where would you be?
You'd be [Ab] in the hospital [Eb] or [Db] infirmary,
[Ab] Cos you would have a dose of the [Db] flu or even [Ab] pleurisy,
If you didn't have your feet in your gumboots.
Da da da dum!
[F] [A] [Ab] Now Rob Muldoon and Rowling, [Db] they haven't [Ab] made a hit,
They're ruining the country [Eb] more than just a bit.
[Ab] If they keep on the way they're [Db] going, we'll all [Ab] be in turd,
So you'd better get your feet up your gumboots.
If it weren't [Eb] for your [Db] gumboots, where would you be?
You'd be [Ab] in the hospital [Eb] or [Db] infirmary,
[Ab] Cos you would have a dose of the [Db] flu or even [Ab] pleurisy,
If you didn't have your feet [Eb] in your [Ab] gumboots.
If it weren't [Eb] for your [Db] gumboots, where would you be?
You'd [Ab] be in the hospital [Eb] or infirmary,
[Ab] Cos you would have a dose of [Db] the flu or even [Ab] pleurisy,
If you didn't have your feet [Eb] in your [Ab]
gumboots. Oh yeah!
