INTRO

So I [Am]sat in the attic, a piano at my nose,
And the wind played a dreadful can[Em7]tata (cantata, can[E7]tata)
Sore was [Am]I from the crack of an enemy's hose,
And the horrible sound of to[Em7]mato (tomato, to[E7]mato)
[Am7]Ketchup (ketchup), soup and [Dm7]puree (soup and puree),
Don't get left be[Am7]hind (don't get left behind)
[Am7]Ketchup (ketchup), soup and [Dm7]puree (soup and puree),
Don't get left be[(Am)]hind
[Am] [Am/G] [Am/F#]
(Do[Fmaj7]n't get left behind, don't get left behind, don't get left behind)
When a [Am]rattle of rats had a[Em7]woken,
The [E7]sinews, the nerves and the [Am]veins
My [Am]piano was boldly out[Em7]spoken,
In at[E7]tempts to repeat it's re[Am]frain
So I [Am]stood with a [Am/G]knot in my [Am/F#]stomach,
And I [Am]gazed at that terrible [Em7]sight[E7]
Of two [Am]youngsters concealed in a [Dm7]barrel,
Sucking [F7]monkberry [E7]moon d[Am]elight
[Dm7] Monkberry moon delight,[Am7] monkberry moon delight
[Dm7] Monkberry moon delight,[Am7] monkberry moon delight

(E7) Am
Well, I know my banana is older than the rest,
And my [Am]hair is a tangled be[Em7]retta (beretta, be[E7]retta)
When I [Am]leave my pyjamas to Billy Budapest,
And I [Am]don't get the gist of your [Em7]letter (your letter, your [E7]letter)
Catch [Am7]up! (catch up!), cats and [Dm7]kittens (cats and kittens),
Don't get left be[Am7]hind (don't get left behind)
Catch [Am7]up! (catch up!), cats and [Dm7]kittens (cats and kittens),
[Dm7]Don't get left be[(Am)]hind
