[Gm] [Dm] [A]
[Dm] The ship sailed into harbor [Gm] after 15 months at sea.
[Dm] The captain hit the tavern [A] with his crew of 53.
After drinking up their pay, they [Gm] staggered through the town.
[Dm] But all the inns and public houses turned the sailors [C] down.
The [Dm] captain said,
Fear not me lads, [Gm] you all can come with me.
[Dm] I live just round the corner [A] and you all can stay for free.
[Dm] But when the captain's wife awoke [Gm] upon the [G] break of day,
They [Dm] say that you could hear her wailing,
[A] Clear to Botany Bay!
[B]
She said,
[D] There's semen all [G] around the bed and semen on the floor.
[D] Semen in the bathroom and [A] behind the closet door.
There's semen in the fireplace and semen in the hall.
The living room is carpeted with [D] semen wall to wall.
[A]
[D] There's semen in the entryway [G] and semen on the stair.
[D] And worst of all, there's even [A] semen in me underwear.
There's some [F#m] behind the larder and beneath the table too.
I do [D] believe your semen got into me Irish stew.
There's semen here in front [G] of me and semen in the rear.
[D] My God, there's even semen [A] hanging from the chandelier.
There's [F#] semen on the windowsill and semen in the yard.
The [D] semen even left a stain upon the St.
Bernard.
Although [G] I am a patient wife, tis [D] more than I can bear
To wake up in [A] the morning with your semen in my [F] hair.
[Bm] I ne'er again [F#m] do wish to see [Bm] thee darken up [F#] my door.
So clean up all [G] your semen and come round my way no more.
So clean up [D] all your semen [G] and come round [A] my way no [E] more.
[A] [D]
Robert C.
Baker died on a Monday.
We all know his work, although few knew [A] his name.
[D] A Cornell professor who taught poultry science.
Forever enshrined in [A] the Poultry Hall [D] of Fame.
[F#] Eighty-four years worth [Bm] of food [D] innovation.
[E] Chicken dogs, turkey dogs, and [A] turkey ham.
[D] Beyond them all stands Baker's greatest creation.
For Baker [G] begat chicken nuggets for man.
Oh nugget man, [G] oh [D] nugget man.
