Intro: C A7 D7 G7 (x2)
Verse 1:
C A7 D7 G7
Spring is here, a s-spring is here,
C A7 D7 G7
Life is skittles, and life is beer,
Dm G7 C G7 C
I think the loveliest time of the year is the spring,
A7 D7 G7
(I do! Don't you? Of course you do!)
Dm G7 C
But there's one thing that makes spring complete for me,
D7 G G7
And makes every Sunday a treat for me!
Chorus 1:
C
All the world seems in tune, on a spring afternoon,
G7
When were poisoning pigeons in the park,
Dm
Every Sunday you'll see, my sweetheart and me,
G7 C
As we poison the pigeons in the park!
Post-Chorus 1:
F C
When they see us coming, the birdies all try and hide,
D7 G7
But they still go for peanuts when coated with cyanide...
C
The sun's shining bright, everything seems all right,
G7 C
When were poisoning pigeons in the park!
[Instrumental Break]
Verse 2:
G7 C7
We've gained notoriety, and caused much anxiety,
G7 C7
In the audubon society, with our games...
A7 D7
They call it impiety, and lack of propriety,
A7 D
And quite a variety of...unpleasant names!
D7 G D7 G7
But its not against any religion, to want to dispose of a pigeon!
Chorus 2:
G7 C7
So,....if Sunday is free, why don't you come with me,
G7
And we'll poison the pigeons in the park?
Dm
And maybe we'll do in a squirrel or two,
G7 C
While we're poisoning pigeons in the park,
Post-Chorus 2:
F C
We'll murder them all, amid laughter and merriment,
D7 G7
Except for the few we take home to experiment!
C D7 G7
My pulse will be quickening with each drop of strychenine we feed to a pigeon,
D7 G7 D7 G7 C G7 C
It just takes a smidgin, to poison a pigeon in the park!
