Tricked Trish tra trance which church chit-chat.
       D5      E5              D5           E5
Nana nots no know, so down the firehouse we go.
  A5            F#5
Fireman Frank friendly fed fee-free
 A5                       F#5
Dank dusty doughnuts den da dribble drank.

So Tommy, look here what you did:
 B5            Bb5
Barnacle Bill?s bound bonus bid.

My mommy must a made up my mind
     A5                    F#5
Many months me for Mandy Miller resigned.
D5                    E5         D5           E5
Right raise rank rise rust; and how she ever fussed!
 A5              F#5
About that out-lout doubt-route scout;
 A5               F#5
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,
 B5                     Bb5
Prop prince prize proof prize-proof, pry pray.

          A5                         F#5
When the word of your ward was the sword by your side
         A5                      F#5
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.
           A5                          F#5
?While the warp and the woof of your words were worked
   A5                    F#5
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:
            B5                          Bb5
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;
        B5                             Bb5
And the purse is for me because I don?t have money nor friends.
