  Na na na na na na na

E                       B
 Georgie Porgie used to get real high

          C#m                      A*
 He used to kiss the world till it made him cry

        A-5                    E
 He was under the bottle's command

E                  B
 But one winter he got it together and

C#m                      A*
 Happiness came with the warmer weather

A-5                    E
 Laying across all the land

E                  B
 He had a love she also liked to drink

     C#m                     A
 She got it together but you know what I think?

   A-5                         E
 I think she was still feeling glum

E                       B
 She took a gun and she shot him in the head

C#m                   A
 She shot herself and so they were wed

        A-5              E
 As the air conditioner hummed

 E         B
  Sing for joy

 C#m       A
  Sing for laughs

 A-5       E
  Sing for joy

 E         B
  Sing for joy

     C#m     A
  If nothing else

 A-5       E
  Sing for joy

 E                       B
 Mamma killed a pumpkin, she thought it was a sweet

     C#m                      A*
 She put it on the table but it was still meat

     A-5                    E
 She forgot the sugar again

 E                       B
 Daddy came home, she had tears in her eyes

   C#m                      A*
 He said "Gimme grilled cheese and paperbag French fries"

   A-5                    E
 See, he forgot the sugar again

 E                       B
 We had a wander seven years out West

   C#m                      A*
 It wasn't exactly the wilderness

   A-5                    E
 But I felt like an Israelite

 E                       B
 Mamma is a gypsy, she'll never find her town

  C#m                      A*
 Daddy went to sea but the boat went down

  A-5                    E
 And the flames shot into the night

 E         B
  Sing for joy

 C#m       A
  Sing for laughs

 A-5       E
  Sing for joy

 E         B
  Sing for joy

     C#m     A
  If nothing else

 A-5       E
  Sing for joy

 E                       B
 I know a girl who lives on the hill

  C#m                      A*
 I don't know if her sister will

  A-5                    E
 or I was thinking about her best friend

 E                       B
 Oh listen to me I'm a desperate boy

  C#m                      A*
 I think I better have a sing for joy

  A-5                    E
 And I guess this has just got to end

 E                       B
 I'll get away in my get away car

  C#m                      A*
 Every now and then I'll send my regards

  A-5                    E
 From a payphone down in the flats

 E                       B
 I'm sorry for the love

 C#m                      A*
 I'm sorry for the pain

 A-5                    E
 I'll say I'm sorry baby again and again

 A-5                    E
 I'm sorry we're joining the stats

  E         B
  Sing for joy

 C#m       A
  Sing for laughs

 A-5       E
  Sing for joy

 E         B
  Sing for joy

     C#m     A
  If nothing else

 A-5       E
  Sing for joy
