[Dm] [A] [D] When we was in the city, we [G] was wondering [D] where to go.
The sign spelled out Pagliacci [Em] up in lights above the show.
[D] We thought it would be a western [G] till the stage lit [D] up with light.
And ninety-seven [A] people sung without a horse [D] in sight.
[G] We couldn't understand them cause [D] they spoke a foreign tongue.

Pretty Pagliacci, [Bb] so [Gm] formal [Dm] and [A] fun to

[Bbm] It ain't Halloween, that's for sure.
[Eb] Then [Ab] this here feller, this punchy neller, [C] begins to [Cm] beller.
[C] Like we all [Ab] was deep

Invest in a tuba, and something or other [Bb] but Cuba.
He sung about a lady [Eb] who weighed two hundred [Ab] and eighty.
When [G] she takes [F] a powder, [C] he just starts [F] chirping louder.
[Abm] And he don't do a [Eb] goddard [Bb] thing, except to stand up there and sing.
When [Fm] we listen to Pagliacci, we get [Cm] itchy and [Fm] scratchy.
This sure [Ab] is top corn, [G] so we go and buy [C] some [Fm] popcorn.
We hate to go back, [Ab] but we can't get our dough [F] back.
Ain't no use [G] complaining, cause outside it's a raining.

[G] Pagliacci, [Bbm] he ain't hurrying, [E] but the folks on [Fm] stage are flurrying.
[Abm] And it sounds like Ketchy [Gm] Turian's [Eb] neighbor dance.
[Gm] Then old Pagliacci finds a guy, he's seeking cheek to cheek.
And with his wife, he grabs a knife and stabs a louse who stole his spouse.
And then he stabs a lady and himself.
Ain't very sanitary.
They all collapse, but old [Eb] Pagliacci sets up.
Then he gets up, sings, I'm dying, I am dying, I am dying.
We start crying, cause to tell the truth, we're dying too.
[Fm] As the footlights fade [D] out, we see [G] Pagliacci laid [F] out.
But the dagger [Cm] never called [G] it.
Pagliacci was plum [Eb] exhausted.
[Fm] Fridi Pagliacci, su [Ab] tuo amo [Bb] reina.
