[D7sus4/A] They bang the hammer and they pitch the tents
[D7sus4/A] Throw up some posters for the residents

[D7sus4/A] You try to keep up with your tiny feets
[G7sus4] Take it [G7]easy baby [G7sus4]nice and [G7]slow

[Verse 2 }
[D7sus4/A] The tiger's sleeping and he can't wake up
[D7sus4/A] You pitch some pennies in a paper cup
[D7sus4/A] They guess your age — they guess your weight
[D7sus4/A] You toss the softballs at the china plates
[G7sus4] Hold'er [G7]steady baby [G7sus4]there you go[G7]
[D7sus4/A] Let me hit you honey sweet and low
[G7sus4] Thus the [G7]tab is written [G7sus4]blow by blow[G7]

[D7sus4/A] All the horses baby all the men
[D7sus4/A] Round the circle and around again
[D7sus4/A] You watch some hobo take a nasty spill
