[G] There's a guy I'd [D7] like to kill
[G] If he doesn't [D7] stop I will
[G[ He's got a uku- [C] le-[G] le, and a voice that's [D7] loud and [G]shrill

[C] 'Cause he lives next [G7] door to me

[G] Sits around, all night long
Sings the same words to every song
[A7] Vo doe de o, [D7] vo doe doe de o, [G] doe

His uku-[B7] lele, daily
[E7] How he'll strum!
Bum bum bum!
[A7] Vampin' and stampin'

[G] Crazy words, crazy tune
He'll be driving me crazy soon

[G] Napoleon marched his men
Turned around and he said to them

[G] Washington, Valley Forge
Man, 'twas cold but spoke George
[A7] Vo doe de o, [D7] vo doe doe de o, [G] doe

What did President Coolidge say

[A7] Kill him, I'll kill him [D7] Then I'll do the black bottom



[G] When I'm jailed, upon my knee
To the jury and the judge I'll plead

[G] The Polka [D7] too was a treat
[G] Your partner said if you [D7] tread on his feet
[A7] Vo doe de o, [D7] vo doe doe de o,[G] doe

The gliding [B7] Foxtrot we've got
[E7] And the blues, if you choose [A7]
We've got the Charleston

Everybody sings now-a-days

[G] Every goof, every sheik
Tunes his uke and begins to shriek

Go on the [B7] east side, the west side
[E7] Here or there, everywhere
[A7] They vo doe, vo doe doe

The guy that started it should be hung
[A7] Vo doe de o, [D7] vo doe doe de o,[G] doe

[A7] [D7] [G] [A7] [D7] [G]
