Verse
[Em] [Em]
We're an oyster cracker on the stew
[Em] [Em]
And the honey in the 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.
Piano Solo...
[Em] (x3)
[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.
[G]
We're gonna be
[G]
Sinkin' soon,
[Em]
We're gonna be
[Em]
Sinkin' soon,
[G] [C7]
Everybody hold your breath 'cuz,
[B7] [Em]
We're gonna be sinkin' soon
Instrumental Part:
[Em] (x5) [D7] [D7]
[C7] [B7]
[Em] (x4) [D7] [D7]
[B7] [Em]
[G]
We're gonna be
[G]
Sinkin' soon,
[Em]
We're gonna be
[Em]
Sinkin' soon,
[G] [C7]
Everybody hold your breath 'cuz,
[B7] [Em]
Down and down we go.
Piano Solo
[Em] (x3)
[Em] [Em]
Like the oyster cracker on the stew,
[Em] [Em]
The honey in the tea
[D7] [D7]
The sugar cubes, one lump or two?
[C7] [B7] (/[C7]/[D7] slide)
No thank you, none for me.
/ [Em] [Em]
We're the golden crust on an apple pie,
[Em] [Em]
That shines in the sun at noon,
[D7] [D7]
Like the wheel of cheese high in the sky
[D7] [C7] [D7] [B7] [Em]
Well ... we're gonna be sinkin' soon.
[B7] [Em] (let ring)
