THE THINGS THAT YOU’LL SEE IN THIS TOWN
Steve Boileau
C D
I walked up my little street, and a fellow I did meet,
G C
In a b-i-g black and yellow hat.
C D
I said what’s up with that, he said “yu seen my cat†,
G C
I said yea, it’s underneath that ladies car.
C D
Well the lady she came out, and they began to shout,
G C
‘cause her dog was barking r-e-a-l-l-y loud.
C D
Well the man took off his hat, and he scooped up his cat,
G C
And the dog started running round and round.
……………….
C G C
Imagine that---a dog and a cat
G D C
The things that you’ll see in this town.
……………….
C D
At the corner was a man, with pockets full of sand,
G C
And l-o-n-g pointed cowboy boots.
C D
He had a real fancy suit, and he was playing a flute,
G C
For a lady with a crown and a star.
C D
The flute sounded like a gun, had everybody on the run,
G C
And the star fell down a sewer hole.
C D
A kid he went a crawlin’, but his mother came a callin’,
G C
And hooked him with a farmers fishing pole.
……………………….
C G C
Imagine that---a dog and a cat
G C
A sewer hole---a fishing pole
G D C
The things that you’ll see in this town.
……………………..
C D
I started heading home, but I tripped on a stone,
G C
And went r-o-l-l-i-n-g on my neighbors lawn.
C D
I landed in the trees, and scraped both my knees,
G C
And ripped my favorite denim jeans
C D
So off I went a limpin’, and then I started thinkin’,
G C
Damn that cursed little stone.
C D
Cursin’ and a bleedin’, tired and full of seedlings,
G C
Sure was glad when I finally made it home.
…………………………
C G C
Imagine that---a dog and a cat
G C
A sewer hole---a fishing pole
G C
My neighbors trees---my favorite jeans
G D C
The things that you’ll see in this town
……………………………
C D
When I got in the house, I started yelling at my spouce,
G C
Get a doctor, get someone on the phone,
C D
She was in the kitchen, her girlfriends were bitchin’,
G C
Be Quiet, our favorite T.V. shows are on.
C D
So I went up to my room, and my head began to swoon,
G C
So I sat on the corner of the bed.
C D
I musta fell asleep, ‘cause I did not hear a peep,
G C
Till morning, when the alarm clock came on.
……………………….
C G C
Imagine that---a dog and a cat
G C
A sewer hole---a fishing pole
G C
My neighbors trees---my favorite jeans
G C
A telephone---the alarm clocks on
G D C
The things that you’ll see in this town
……………………..
C D
So the moral of this tale, is that you can never fail,
G C
Just w-a-l-k-i-n-g up your little street.
C D
So get up on your feet, the people you can meet,
G C
Will a-l-w-a-y-s make you laugh and smile.
C D
This town is full of sights, with monsters in the night,
G C
With cars, and cowboys playing flutes.
C D
There’s anything you need, on this little street of dreams,
G C
Hang around, lay down some roots
…………………..
C G C
Imagine that---a dog and a cat
G C
A sewer hole---a fishing pole
G C
My neighbors trees---my favorite jeans
G C
A telephone---the alarm clocks on
G C
A moral tale---never fails
G D C
The things that you’ll see in this town.
