There was not a sweeter kitty, (meow, meow, meow) in the country or the city (meow, meow, meow) and she said she'd wed Don Gato! O Senor Don Gato jumped with glee! He fell off the roof and broke his knee, broke his ribs and all his whiskers,(meow, meow, meow) and his little solar plexus (meow, meow, meow) "Ay Caramba!!" cried Don Gato. All the doctors they came on the run, just to see if something could be done. And they held a consultation,(meow, meow, meow) about how to save their patient, (meow, meow, meow) how to save Senor Don Gato. But in spite of everything they tried,poor Senor Don Gato up and died. No, it wasn't very merry,(meow, meow, meow) going to the cemetary,(meow, meow, meow) for the ending of Don Gato. But as the the funeral passed the market square, such a smell of fish was in the air, though the burial was plated, (meow, meow, meow) he became reanimated, (meow, meow, meow) he came back to life, Don Gato! __ coke-a-cola came to town pepsi-cola pushed him down dr. pepper picked him up and now we're drinking 7 up 7 up go the flu now we're drinkin Mt.

Jingle Bells, Batman smells, Robin laid an egg, The batmobile lost its wheels, And Joker got away "Jingle Bells Batman Smells", written by Steve, a fan of BusSongs.com – thanks Steve! In Gotham you can hear the sound of Christmas cheer, But Batman’s found no friends around, no one will come near. Everybody knows he doesn’t wash his clothes, With smelly socks and stinky jocks, Batman’s on the nose. CHORUS Oh, Jingle Bells, Batman Smells, Robin flew away, Batmobile lost a wheel and the Joker got away, hey. Jingle Bells, Batman Smells, Robin flew away, Batmobile lost a wheel, oh Happy Christmas Day. Batman says “Let’s go.” Robin says “No, no.” -“If you don’t wash your socks by gosh they’re gonna start to grow” It’s no dynamic deal, your bouquet lacks appeal, I can’t abide the smell inside your yuletide batmobile.” Dashing through the night in three wheeled ‘batmo trike’. Batman looks for Gotham crooks, the smell will win the fight. The Joker he then spies, takes him by surprise, Zap! Kapow! with BO now the Joker chokes and dies. Santa in a trice arrives with good advice, “For Christmas Batman from this Fatman, a gallon of Old Spice.” Rudolf gives a scream, “My nose is turning green. Can someone try to teach this guy some personal hygiene.” Batman sees no hope, Dynamic Duo broke, But back at cave the day is saved, there’s Santa with the soap. Robin’s got the hose, Santa peg on nose. They scrub hero from head to toe, he’s smelling like a rose. http://bussongs.com/songs/batman-funny-parody.php Oats, peas, beans and barley grow, They're creepy and they're kooky, Miss Lucy had a steam boat The steamboat had a bell, Miss Lucy went to heaven and the Steamboat went to...

She wrote me "I was born in 1982 and grew up in NYC... This song replaces 'eenie meenie miney moe' for making 'decisions', i.e. point to one of the options for each word until you get to the end." Another New Yorker wrote: "...growing up in NYC, queens to be specific, my sisters and I used to sing this song as a hand clapping game, with the following additional verses..." Eenie meenie sicileeny, Ooh ah zambalini, Achi cachi Liberache, I love you, Take a peach, Take a plum, Take a stick of bubble gum, No peach, No plum, No stick of bubble gum.

We thought it was kool-aid, because it was pink. But the thing that they told us, would've grossed out a moose, For that great tasting pink drink, was really bug juice. It looked fresh and fruity, like tasty kool-aids, But the bugs that were in it, were murdered with Raid. We drank it by gallons, we drank it by tons, And the next morning, we all had the runs. So the next time you drink bug juice, and a fly drives you mad, He's just getting even, 'Cause you swallowed his Dad'.

\ Here is Cats in the Cradle as I found it in Nevada. There are some pretty weird

chords in it and I don't know what they are. Could someone post them or mail  

them to me? It is much appreciated.

 Is there a list somewhere of weird chords?

Thanks

Cat's In The Cradle                                Words and music by

                                                   Harry Chapin and Sandy Chapin

As published in "Harry Chapin: A Legacy in Song"

                 (c) 1987 Cherry Lane Music Co., Inc.

IMHO, this is a better version that the simplified version that was/is on

ftp.nevada.edu.

TAB: each space represents an eigth note

The music says CAPO 8 (key of F) but I usually play it CAPO 5 (key of D),

since that's in my range.

Song: Leaving On A Jet Plane

All my bags are packed I'm ready to go

      C               F

I'm standing here outside your door,

   C               Am             G    G7        

I hate to wake you up to say goodbye.

But the dawn is breaking it's early mor'n

The taxi waiting he is blowing his horn

   C            Am               G     G7

Already i'm so lonesome I could cry.

So kiss me and smile for me,

         C      F                  C

Cuz I'm leaving on a jetplane,

                F                 

don't know when I'll be back again.

   Am                   G7

Oh babe I hate to go.

There's so many times I've let you down,

So many times I've played around.

I tell you now that they don't mean a thing.

Every  place I'll go I'll think of you.

Every song I'll sing, I'll sing for you.

When I come back I'll bring your weddingring.

Chorus:

So kiss me....

Now the time has come I'm leaving you.

Just one more time let me kiss you.

Then close your eyes and I'll be on my way.

You can dream about the days to come,

when I won't have to leave alone,

about the times when I won't have to say.

Chorus:

So kiss me....

The Gambler:

     F                           Bb             F

On a warm summer's evening on a train bound for nowhere

  Bb            F                                  C

I met up with a gambler. We were both too tired to sleep.

   F                               Bb            F

So we took turns a starin' out the window at the darkness

     Bb           F          C7          F

till boredom overtook us and he began to speak.

He said, "Son, I've made a life out of readin' people's faces

and knowin' what their cards were by the way they held their eyes.

So if you don't mind my sayin' I can see you're out of aces;

for a taste of your whiskey I'll give you some advice."

So I handed him my bottle, and he drank doen my last swallow.

Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light.

And the night got deathly quiet and his face lost all expression.

Said, "If you're gonna play the game, boy, you gotta learn to play it

right."

CHORUS:

            F                     Bb              F

"You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em.

Bb           F                          C

Know when to walk away and know when to run.

          F     Bb   F                 Bb               F

You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table.

           Bb              F       C7                 F

Ther'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done."

"Ev'ry gambler knows that the secret to survivin'

Is knowin' what to throw away and knowin' what to keep.

'Cause ev'ry hand's a winner, and ev'ry hand's a loser.

And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep."

And when he'd finished speakin' he turned back toward the window.

Crushed ou his cigarette and faded off to sleep.

And somewhere in the darkness the gambler he broke even.

But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep.

(to chorus:)

Well, there it is.
