       D                      G       D
Well a tom cat's sittin' on a bale of hay

                               D
And a bulldog a-sittin' on the ground

D                      G         D
I went and pinched the bulldog's tail

    D
And they went around and around and around

D          A          D
They went around and around

Way down yonder by the sycamore tree

Way down yonder by the sycamore tree

Well I had an old cow and she slobbered so bad

D                         A    D
Spent all my money that I ever had

  D                                 G        D
I went and asked the doctor what to do about it

   D                              A          D
He said I'd have to teach the old cow how to spit

   D                              A          D
He said I'd have to teach the old cow how to spit

  D                      G        D
A humpback man went to a football game

    D                       A         D
The game was called off on account of rain

    D                        G       D
The humpback went to get his quarter back

    D                                A          D
The fullback kicked the hump off the humpback's back

He kicked the hump off the humpback's back

Well I just found out why ham's so high

     D                  A          D
Only two hind legs on a hog that's why

D                            G             D
Cross it with an octopus and ham will come down

D                         A        D
The hog in the middle and ham all around

D                     A        D
Hog in the middle and ham all around
[Chorus]
         D                      G         D
