Let me tell you 'bout the Manfreds
    C7*                            C7*

On a rainy day
        C7 N.C
And the people came from miles around

[Chorus]
N.C.                     F7*

The people of the town

       C7*
Sings "Hey diddle diddle"
     C7 N.C.
God, he's just a pretty face

[Chorus]

And sure wants to be a star
