[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Dsus2
Ev'ryone in town knew Mr. Webster

   Am                           Dsus2
He worked at the bank for forty years
And each week Mr. Frisby made his check out
    Am                  Dsus2
For sixty-eight dollars clear
[Chorus 1]
G            C                 D            G
And thru the years he thwarted twenty-seven robberies
C Cis And each time Frisby promised him a raise [Verse 2]
Dsus2
They gave a retirement party for Mr. Webster

Am                         Dsus2
Everyone from the bank was there
They had a cake and flowers ordered special
    Am                     Dsus2
And Frisby had a speech prepared
[Chorus 2]
G                  C               D                  G
And a little white box that held a watch with this inscription
C Cis "To Mr. Webster, with regards." [Verse 3]
Dsus2
Then came the telegram from Mr. Webster

      Am                         Dsus2
Said, "Sorry... stop... Cannot attend..
I've flown away and taken all your money
     Am                       Dsus2
Wish you were here to help me spend."
[Chorus 3]
G          C           D               G
And one by one all the people left the party
C Cis And Mr. Frisby locked the door
