Tiger Lillies - Cancer
G
Uncle Bill and auntie Mary
G
Always used to shout
G
And uncle Bill would knock
G
Auntie Mary about
C
With auntie Mary
C
In such misery
G
I always thought that cancer
Am G
Was like the cavalry
G
When cancer cut Bill down
G
They said what a crying shame
G
Well I never thought so
G
And Mary did the same
C
Let’s face it Bill
C
You were a bastard through and through
G
So when that cancer cut him down
Am G
I did not feel blue
G
Cancer cancer it’s so good for you
G
Cancer cancer it’s so good for you
C
Cancer it will set you free
G Am G
The big C was like the cavalry
G
When he was on his deathbed
G
One day for a joke
G
Me and auntie Mary
G
Fun at him we'd poke
C
As he lay there
C
In his abject pain
G
Me and auntie Mary
Am G
We sung him this refrain
G
Cancer cancer it’s so good for you
G
Cancer cancer it’s so good for you
C
Cancer it will set you free
G Am G
The big C was like the cavalry
G
When he died
G
Later that same day
G
Me and auntie Mary
G
For him didn’t pray
C
But sometimes on a winter’s night
C
Though he has been long gone
G
Me and auntie Mary
Am G
Still sing him this song
G
Cancer cancer it’s so good for you
G
Cancer cancer it’s so good for you
C
Cancer it will set you free
G Am G
The big C was like the cavalry
