A                 G          A          G
    A                 G          A          G   (stop)

    A                 G          A          G
    A                 G          A          G   


up and down the puppies' hair
fleas and ticks jump everywhere
'cause of original sin

down the hill fell jack and jill
and you came tumbling after
'cause of original sin

Pre-Chorus (in 3/4)

and you may find a lifetime's passed you by  

Chorus  
------
what would you say don't drop the big one
if you a monkey on a string don't cut my lifeline
if you a doggie on a chain don't bite the mailman
what would you say ( hold A)

the morning's rise a lifetime's passed me by
