VERSE 1:

F (133211@1)                          C (x32010@1)     
Just one more drink and then I

Bb (x1333x@1)                Fshould (133211@1)be on my way home.

I'm not entirely sure                
what you're talking about.

I've had a really nice time,     
but my dogs need to be fed.

I must say that in the right light 
you look like Shackelton.

CHORUS:

F (133211@1)           C (x32010@1)    
Comment allez-vous ce soir?

Bb (x1333x@1)                FJe (133211@1)suis comme ci comme ca.
            
Yes a penguin taught me French back 
in Antartica.



VERSE 2:

F (133211@1)                      COh, (x32010@1)I could show you the way

Bb (x1333x@1)             F (133211@1)shadows colonize snow.

Ice breaking up on the bay 
off the Lassiter coast.

Light falling over the pole as 
every longitude leads

up to your frost bitten feet
Oh you're very sweet.

CHORUS:

F (133211@1)               C (x32010@1)                        
Thank you for the flowers and the

Bb (x1333x@1)         Fbook (133211@1)by Derrida, 
           
but I must be getting back to 
dear Antarctica.



BRIDGE:

F (133211@1)        
    Say do you have a ship

Bb (x1333x@1)   and a dozen able men

C (x32010@1)   that maybe you could lend me?
