Halley's Comet, I said-a Halley's Comet   

F5        C5                        F5
Halley's Comet, I said-a Halley's Comet

F5        Bb5      C5        F5
Halley's Comet   Halley's Comet   

D5       G5      C5        F5
Halley's Comet   Halley's Comet 

[Repeat]

F5             C5                 Bb5             F5
How could you know that I lived in a desperate world?
How could you dream that we were all made out of stone?
What is the truth, what is the faithful lasting proof?
What is the central theme to this everlasting spoof?

F5                    Eb5 
Knock on my windows, link up the chains
Bb5                     F5
It's gotta be easy, no splinters no pain
F5                          Eb5 
It's Cadillac rainbows and lots of spaghetti
Bb5                          C5 
And I love meatballs so you better be ready

F5                     Bb5              F5
I'm going down to the central part of town
I'm going down to the central part of town
Central part of town, I'm going down
I'm going down to the central part of town["Halley's Comet" over doo-wop]

[Chorus]

F5                  Bb5               F5
What did I do? And don't be blamin' eat my cashew 
F5 
For everything I do to know the story
Bb5                     F5
And everything I do to pull me in
F5
And everything I say to get the title
    Bb5                     F5
But when they use it on me I reject it

F5              C5         Bb5
What would you do if you ate my daddy's shoes?
What would you say if it was naturally for you?
How would you feel if it rained on ???
How would you like to have your thick strawberry goo?

(Same as "Knock on my windows . . .)
I'm sinking down, it's a glorious feeling
To make a big difference, my body is reeling
Even Carl Sagan can't shine my shoes
`Cause I know deep inside it's got to ??? (mighty fine something)

F5                     Bb5              F5
I'm going down to the central part of town
I'm going down to the central part of town
I'm going down to the central part of town
I'm going down to the central part of ...
