T�ord ta tippy top Tommy tongue-tied talked,
        A                  F#
Tricked Trish tra trance which church chit-chat.
       D5      E5              D5           E5
Nana nots no know, so down the firehouse we go.
  A            F#
Fireman Frank friendly fed fee-free
 A                       F#
Dank dusty doughnuts den da dribble drank.
 D5           E5          D5                 E5
Driven droopy drunken; in Clinton lake we�ve sunk in.

Interlude(?):
 A5                 G5
So Tommy, look here what you did:
 Bm            Bbm
Barnacle Bill�s bound bonus bid.


    A                       F#
My mommy must a made up my mind
     A                    F#
Many months me for Mandy Miller resigned.
D5                    E5         D5           E5
Right raise rank rise rust; and how she ever fussed!
 A              F#
About that out-lout doubt-route scout;
 A               F#
Seems he liked someone better than her.
     D5              E5
Oh! Tommy Trish and Frank
        D5             E5
You can talk me to the bank.


A5                        G5
 So I can bring a little extra today,
 Bm                     Bbm
Prop prince prize proof prize-proof, pry pray.

          A                         F#
When the word of your ward was the sword by your side
         A                      F#
And you dug up the deed in the dump where he died,
      D5              E5           D5                  E5
You seemed beside yourself; you�re wandering all your wealth.
           A                          F#
�While the warp and the woof of your words were worked
   A                    F#
By perpetually pushing spirits and beers,
           D5                    E5
Cause the coffin the cradle the curse
       D5        E5
Were woven even worse.

A5                                    G5
Since the �sary sends signs out the fire to whom it may concern:
            Bm                          Bbm
Cause the coffin is for me cause I have nothing to do with it;
A5                                     G5
And the cradle is for me cause the old dragon attacked me in it;
        Bm                             Bbm
And the purse is for me because I don�t have money nor friends.
