[Verse 1]
[F]When
I was a lad [C]of three-foot-three
Certain Certain Certain
questions oc[F]curred to me,
So I asked me father [C]quite seriously
To tell me the story 'bout the
[F]bird and bee.
He stammered and
he stuttered [C]pathetically
And this is what he said to me.
[F]He said, "The

[Verse 2]
[F]woman
piaba and the man piaba
and the Ton Ton call baka [C]lemon grass,
The [F]lily root, gully root, belly root uhmm,
[C]And the famous grandy scratch
[Fm]scratch.
[C][Fm]

[Verse 3]
[C]
It was [Fm]clear as [C]mud but
it covered the ground
And the confusion made
the brain [Fm]go 'round.
I went and ask a good [C]friend of mine,
Known to the world as [F]Albert Einstein.
[C]He [F]said "Son,
from the beginning of time and cre[C]ativity
There existed the force of re[F]lativity
Pi r square and a [Bb]minus ten
means a [C]routine only when
[F]The solar system in one[C] light year
Make the Hayden planetarium [F]disappear
So if Mt Everest [Bb]doesn't move
I am [C]positive that it will prove

[Verse 4]
[F]That the woman piaba and the man piaba
And the Ton Ton call baka [C]lemon grass,
The [F]lily root, gully root, belly root uhmm,
And [C]the famous grandy scratch
[Fm]scratch.
[C][F][Fm]

[Verse 5]
[C]
It was [F]clear [Fm]as mu[C]d but
it covered the ground
And the confusion made the brain go [Fm]'round.
I grabbed a boat [C]and went abroad
In Baden Baden asked [F]Sigmund Freud
He said "Son,
from your sad face [C]remove the grouch
Put the body down up [F]on the couch
I can see from [Bb]your frustration
a [C]neurotic sublima[F]tion
Hey love and hate is [C]psychosomatic
Your Rorsach shows that
you're a [F]peri pathetic
It all started with [Bb]a broken sibling
In the [C]words of the famous
[F]Rudyard Kipling

[Verse 6]
[F]That the woman piaba and the man piaba
And the Ton Ton call baka [C]lemon grass,
The [F]lily root, gully root, belly root uhmm,
And the [C]famous grandy scratch [F]scratch.

[Verse 7]
Well I [F]traveled far and I [C]traveled wide
And I don't even have
me [F]self [C]a b[F]ride
All the great men [Bb]upon this earth
Have con[C]fused me since my [F]birth
I've been over land and been [C]over sea
Trying to find answer 'bout
the [F]bird and bee
But now that I am [Bb]ninety three
I [C]don't give a darn you [F]see

[Verse 8]
If the [F]woman piaba and the man piaba
And the Ton Ton call baka [C]lemon grass,
[F]The lily root, gully root, belly root uhmm,
And the fam[C]ous grandy
scratch [F]scratch.
