[Verse]
C
It's wedding day in Funeralville
F C
Your soup spoon's on your right
C E7
The King and Queen will alternate
F G
With the refrigerator light
F C
They'll be boxing on the T.V. show
F G
The colored kids will sing
F C
Hooray for you and midnight's oil
F G C
Let’s burn the whole damn thing
F G C
[Verse]
C
Felicia is my dark horse girl
F C
I'll take her if it rains
E7
She throws up punch upon the host
F G
And says many stupid things
F C
But she ain't so bad when we're all alone
F G
She's as different as can be
F
She's a part a my heart
C
Don'tcha pull us apart
F G C F C
She's like one of the family
[Chorus]
G
Oh no! Trouble in the attic
F C F C
Won't somebody turn on a light
G
Got so, so many troubles
F C F C
Can't even tell wrong from right
C
I'm gonna comb my hair
C7
Darn my socks, tip my hat
F
And say goodnight
C
It's wedding day in Funeralville
F G C
What shall I wear tonight?

[Verse]
C
My car is stuck in Washington
F C
And I cannot find out why
E7
Come sit beside me on the swing
F G
And watch the angels cry
F C
It's anybody's ballgame
F G
It's everybody's fight
F C
And the streetlamp said as he nodded his head
F G C F C
It's lonesome out tonight
[Chorus]
G
Oh no! Trouble in the attic
F C F C
Won't somebody turn on a light
G
Got so, so many troubles
F C F C
Can't even tell wrong from right

Darn my socks, tip my hat

And say goodnight
