Dm  C              G7  
Whoa, are we moving too slow? 
        Gm    Dm              Gm Bb
Have you seen us,       Uncle Remus?
F                            C7         
We look pretty sharp in these clothes (yes, we do)
Dm                           G7        
Unless we get sprayed with a hose

F                                        A
It ain't bad in the day         If they squirt it your way
Dm                          G7 
'cept in the wintah, when it's froze
G7          Bb               Dm       
And it's hard if it hits, on your nose (on your nose)

                Dm       C
Just keep your nose
                    G7
To the grindstone they say
      Gm         Dm  Gm      Bb
Will that redeem us, uncle reemus?
  F                              C7    
I can't wait til mah 'fro is full grown
         Dm                      G7
I'll just throw away my doo-rag at home
                    F               A
I'll take a drive to Beverly hills
  A                    Dm
Just before dawn And knock the little jockeys
         G7                     Bb
Off the rich peoples lawn And before they get up
 Dm             G
I'll be gone (I'll be gone)
Bb                         Dm                    G7           Bb7 
Before they get up I'll be knockin' the jockeys off the lawn
  A7?      Dm
(down in the dew)

Maybe a little sketchy round the last part but should give you a good idea. x
