[Intro]
C A7 D7 G7 C A7 D7 G7
Spring is here, a-suh-puh-spring is here, Life is skittles and life is beer
[Verse]
Dm7 G7 C G7 C A7 D7
I think the loveliest time of the year Is the spring, I do, don't you?
G7
Course you do!
Dm G7 C
But there's one thing that makes spring complete for me
D7 G Gdim G7
And makes every Sunday a treat for me...
C Cmaj7 C
All the world seems in tune on a spring afternoon
Gdim G7
When we're poisoning pigeons in the park
Dm F# F Dm6
Every Sunday you'll see my sweetheart and me
G7 C
As we poison the pigeons in the park
Fm
When they see us coming, The birdies all try and hide
D7 G7
But they still go for peanuts, When coated with cy-an-hide
C Cmaj7 C6 C
The sun's shining bright, Everything seems all right
D7 G7 C
When we're poisoning pigeons in the park
G7sus4 G7 Cmaj7 C6 G7sus4 G7
We've gained notoriety, And caused much anxiety, In the Audubon Society
Cmaj7 A7sus4 A7 Dmaj7 D6 A7
With our games They call it impiety and lack of propriety, and quite a variety
D
of unpleasant names
D7 G D7 G7
But it's not against any religion, To want to dispose of a pigeon
C Cmaj7 C6 C Gdim G7
So, if, Sunday you're free, why don't you come with me and we'll poison the pigeons in the park
Dm F# F Dm6 G7 C
And maybe we'll do in a squirrel or two, while we're poisoning pigeons in the park
Fm D7 G7
We'll murder them all amid laughter and merriment, Except for the few we take home to experiment
C C7 C6 C
My pulse will be quickenin' With each drop of strychnine
D7 G7 D7 D7 G7 C
We feed to a pigeon It just takes a smidgin! To poison a pigeon in the park
