[Verse]
C
I run a small printing facility
F
I have so much responsibility
C G Gsus4 G
For leaflets and brochures showing local features
C
When I get home late at night
F
I can’t share my problems with my wife
C G C G C
So I dress up as a small nocturnal creature
[Chorus]
C F
A female badger, a female badger
C G Gsus4 G
In the night, all black and white
C
When I dress up as that badger
F
I have to tuck away my tadger
C G
Everybody says it’s wrong
C G C
But it just feels right
[Verse]
C
Now Margery has packed my bags
F
I've had to change my habitat
C G Gsus4 G
I dug myself a sett in our backyard
C
She still says I can come for tea
F
She leaves a saucer out for me
C G C G C
I guess life as a badger can be hard
[Chorus]
C F
A female badger, a female badger
C G Gsus4 G
In the night, all black and white
C
When I dress up as that badger
F
I tuck away my tiny tadger
C G
Everybody says it’s wrong
C G C
But it just feels right
[Spoken verse]
C
Me in a short-legged omnivore
F
Feels like what I was put here for
C G
With a heightened sense of smell, but limited sight
C
Now as I lay here in the dust
F
I smell a male badger’s earthy musk
C G C
And I know it’s gonna be a busy-busy badger night
[Chorus]
C F
For a female badger, a female badger
C G Gsus4 G
In the night, all black and white
C
Oh, when I dress up as that badger
F
I have to tuck away my tadger
C G
Everybody says it’s wrong
C
But it just feels right
C G
Everybody says it’s wrong
F C
But it just feels right
