ANow the legendary chaplain oDf the fighting 51st was getting rAeady to go F#mI said, "Padre, do you know a cheap virgin who likes tEo tango?" AHe said, "You can try Linda Lee", around the corner and across F#mthe sea Word is Bmout, word isA out she's faEst AWell, blow me down now,E Linda, 'cause I'm sinAkin' fast
F#mYes, and them cats are sure getting fat down in the train Eyard BmAnd the sandman brings them dreams to ship out in thAe boxcars BmThe union says, "Hold." Break out the diF#mce, break out the gold DIt's lunchtime at laEst
And olAd big Mama said, "George Raft's tonight on the lateE show" DShe sits straddling a kitchen chair, really gunEg-ho F#mShe shivers with chills, wet with slotBm car thrills AHypnotically lost in the Eglass And we all sGigh with the sunrise E EAs we watch the credits pass
AAnd then the morning cloaDk fell down like a hoax Aover Sleepy Town F#mAnd garbage truck vigilantes out making the lasEt rounds BmThe inheritor he sipped his beer and poked cute fun F#mof the queer DAnd threatened to kick his Eass
