Lyrics

Frabjous Day
C E7 Am C E7 Am
My Billy he flew cuckoo cuckoo ka choo
C E7 Am C E7 Am
My Billy he flew cuckoo cuckoo ka choo

C E7 Am
Yes he gave it his best but he fell in the nest
C E7 Am
And now he don't know what to do
C E7 Am
And now he don't know what to do

C E7 Am
My Billy spent time shooting guns
C E7 Am
But it was never ever that much fun
C E7 Am
So he went off to school With the rest of the fools
C E7 Am
Singing cuckoo cuckoo ka choo


Dm G7
I like to pretend that he was feeling lazy
Dm G7
That's why he started playing crazy
C E7 Am
He couldn't work on the farm Cuz it was too god damn hard
C E7 Am
So he flew cuckoo cuckoo ka choo

Dm G7 Dm G7

C E7 Am
The mome raths are listening again
C E7 Am
They've called up his boss & his friends
E7 Am
They don't leave him alone when he's sitting at home
C E7 Am
It drives him cuckoo cuckoo ka choo



Dm G7
Tonight he aint' talking on the phone
Dm G7
Tonight he'll mimsy in the borogroves
C E7 Am
No he won't talk on the phone, cuz they're listening ya know

C E7 Am
He'll just sit and watch his paintings grow
C E7 Am
Singin' cuckoo cuckoo ka choo
C E7 Am
Sittin' alone in his room
C E7 Am
Cuz he don't know what to do
C E7 Am
No, he don't know what to do

Dm G7 Dm G7

C E7 Am
He asked me one brillig day
E7 F C
Why I couldn't stay
E7 F
Did some kind of slithy walrus
Dm G7 Dm G7
drive me away, scare me outgrabe
G7
No, No, No
C E7 Am
I said I had to leave to find gold in the trees
C E7 Am
Besides, I ain't scared of no walrus anyway

C E7 Am
Oh calloo oh callay Oh my frabjous day
Oh calloo callay Oh my frabjous day
C E7 Am
My my my cuckoo cuckoo ka choo
My my my cuckoo cuckoo ka choo
