[verses]
E B
Georgie Porgie used to get real high
C#m A*
He used to kiss the world till it made him cry
A-5 E
He was under the bottle's command
E B
But one winter he got it together and
C#m A*
Happiness came with the warmer weather
A-5 E
Laying across all the land
E B
He had a love she also liked to drink
C#m A
She got it together but you know what I think?
A-5 E
I think she was still feeling glum
E B
She took a gun and she shot him in the head
C#m A
She shot herself and so they were wed
A-5 E
As the air conditioner hummed
[chorus]
E B
Sing for joy
C#m A
Sing for laughs
A-5 E
Sing for joy
E B
Sing for joy
C#m A
If nothing else
A-5 E
Sing for joy
[verses] - same exact progression throughout
Mamma killed a pumpkin, she thought it was a sweet
She put it on the table but it was still meat
She forgot the sugar again
Daddy came home, she had tears in her eyes
He said "Gimme grilled cheese and paperbag French fries"
See, he forgot the sugar again
We had a wander seven years out West
It wasn't exactly the wilderness
But I felt like an Israelite
Mamma is a gypsy, she'll never find her town
Daddy went to sea but the boat went down
And the flames shot into the night
[chorus]
Sing for joy
Sing for laughs
Sing for joy
Sing for joy
If nothing else
Sing for joy
[verses]
I know a girl who lives on the hill
I don't know if her sister will
or I was thinking about her best friend
Oh listen to me I'm a desperate boy
I think I better have a sing for joy
And I guess this has just got to end
I'll get away in my get away car
Every now and then I'll send my regards
From a payphone down in the flats
I'm sorry for the love
I'm sorry for the pain
I'll say I'm sorry baby again and again
I'm sorry we're joining the stats
[chorus]
Sing for joy
Sing for laughs
Sing for joy
Sing for joy
If nothing else
Sing for joy
