We[Em]'re an oyster c[Em]racker on the stew

And the [Em]honey in the [Em]tea

          D7           D7               
We're the sugar cubes, one lump or two,
                                   
C7               B7 (/C7/D7 slide)
                     
In the black coffee,
                        
/ Em                 Em
                                  
The golden crust on an apple pie,
     Em                   Em    
That shines in the sun at noon,
        D7              D7               
We're a wheel of cheese high in the sky,
                                    
D7        C7    D7 B7      Em     *
                                 
But we're gonna be sinkin' soon.

     Em                   Em              
In a boat that's built of sticks and hay,
   Em               Em     
We drifted from the shore,
       D7            D7                
With a captain who's too proud to say,
                                        
C7                   B7  (/C7/D7 slide)
                         
That he dropped the oar,
                     
/   Em            Em
                                   
Now a tiny hole has sprung a leak,
Em               Em    
In this cheap pontoon,
        D7               D7            
Now the hull has started growing weak,
                                    
D7        C7    D7 B7      Em     *
                                 
And we're gonna be sinkin' soon.

Sinkin' soon,
      Em       
We're gonna be
