D                      G  D                      G
 I have no shire horse     to pull my narrowboat.
D                              G D                     G
 I’ll go and see the carpenter,   see what he suggests.
D                            G D                       G
 “Have you tried Tik and Tok;   the robotic dance pair?
D                       G
 They’re not enthusiasts
C                                A
But of course the law is on your side”.
          D    Am              D
Singing a song, just singing a song.


[Chorus]

G        D                     A
 When my grave’s waist-deep in meadow grass
G        D                      A
 No more strawberry jam for the Guild.
G                D             A
 Will they still say, whenever bobsleigh’s on,
G            D                    Am        G
“Hey I would love to have a go at that?”


[Verse]

D                         G D                   G
 Stromsgodset  Under-Fives   did the offy by us.
D                          G D                             G
 I spoke to farmer Coombes,   had other things on his mind:
D                      G D                       G
 “Them Massey Fergusons   rub me up the wrong way
D                         G
 And have you seen my son?
C                                    A
Wears his baseball cap the wrong way round”.
          D    Am              D
Singing a song, just singing a song.


[Chorus]

G        D                     A
 When my grave’s waist-deep in meadow grass
G        D                      A
 No more strawberry jam for the Guild.
G                 D         A
 Will there still be in the back pages
G           D                   Am     D  Am  D
Adverts for The Original Breton Shirt?


[Outro]

G         D     G         D
Singing a song, singing a song
G         D     G         D
Singing a song, singing a song
G         D     G         D
Singing a song, singing a song
G         D     G         D
Singing a song, singing a song
G         D     G         D
Singing a song, singing a song
G         D
Singing a song……
