Verse
EmEm We're an oyster cracker on the stew EmEm And the honey in the tea D7D7 We're the sugar cubes, one lump or two, C7B7 (/C7/D7 slide) In the black coffee, / EmEm The golden crust on an apple pie, EmEm That shines in the sun at noon, D7D7 We're a wheel of cheese high in the sky, D7C7D7B7Em * But we're gonna be sinkin' soon.
Piano Solo...
Em (x3)
EmEm In a boat that's built of sticks and hay, EmEm We drifted from the shore, D7D7 With a captain who's too proud to say, C7B7 (/C7/D7 slide) That he dropped the oar, / EmEm Now a tiny hole has sprung a leak, EmEm In this cheap pontoon, D7D7 Now the hull has started growing weak, D7C7D7B7Em * And we're gonna be sinkin' soon.
G We're gonna be G Sinkin' soon, Em We're gonna be Em Sinkin' soon, GC7 Everybody hold your breath 'cuz, B7Em We're gonna be sinkin' soon
