A E7 A One fine day as I was walking down the street A E7 I spied a beggar man with rags upon his feet A A7 N.C. D Took a penny from my pocket, in his tin cup, I did drop it A E7 A And I heard him say as I made my retreat
[Chorus]
A May the bird of paradise fly up your nose E7 May an elephant caress you with its toes A A7 D May your wife be plagued with runners in her hose A E7 A May the bird of paradise fly up your nose

A E7 A My laundry man is really on his toes A E7 Found a hundred-dollar bill among my clothes A A7 N.C. D When he called me, I came running, gave him back his dime for phoning A E7 A And I heard him saying as I turned to go
[Chorus]
A May the bird of paradise fly up your nose E7 May an elephant caress you with its toes A A7 D May your wife be plagued with runners in her hose A E7 A May the bird of paradise fly up your nose

A E7 A I was way behind one day to catch a train A E7 The taxi driver said, "We'll make it just the same" A A7 N.C. D A speed cop made it with us and as he wrote out the ticket A E7 A I stood by politely, waiting for my change
[Chorus]
A May the bird of paradise fly up your nose E7 May an elephant caress you with its toes A A7 D May your wife be plagued with runners in her hose A E7 A May the bird of paradise fly up your nose A E7 A May the bird of paradise fly up your nose
