       C               A7                D7     G7
For - get about your worries, and your strife,

            G7                 C
Wherever I wander, wherever I roam,
                G7                 C
I couldn't be fonder... of my big home,
     C7        F             Fm                 C            D7
The bees are buzzin' in the tree to make some honey just for me,
     Am7                 A7
When you look under the rocks and plants,
     Dm7                   D7   G7         C          A7
And take a glance at the fancy ants, then maybe try a few,
                Dm7         G7                C
The bare ne - cessities of life will come to you,

Now, when you pick a paw -paw, or a prickly pear,
                 G7                       C
And you prick a raw paw, well, next time... beware,
       C7         F                Fm
Don't pick the prickly pear by the paw,

     Am7                    D7       G7   C                      A7
When you pick a pair of the big paw-paw!     Have I given you a clue?
                                        Dm7         G7                C
