[Verse 1]
[D]It'[A]s n[D]ot [A]cricket to p[D]icket,[A]
not [D]cricket
[F#m]Oh, no, it's just [D]not com
[Fdim]ing for to pic[E]ket[A]
You [D]haven't any right, [A]you know
[D]You're act[C]ing in great has[D]te
Just [G]think of the predic[Bm]ament
[G]In [Bbaug]which your boss is placed
[Bb]And en t[D]re- nous, I think
[C]It's an exceeding[D]ly bad[Eb] tast[F]e
Not [A]cricket [D]to pic[A]ket,
not [D]cricket

[Verse 2]
It's not [D]cricket to [A]picket, not [D]cricket
Atro[F#m]cious [D]and[Fdim] gauche,
you know, to [E]pick[A]et
Go [D]home and starve like [C#m]gen tlemen
[C#]Not like[C] a noisy brood[D]
Real [Bm]ladies never make a fuss
[G]Though the[Bbaug]y like clothes and foo[Bb]d
[Gm]And [D]money's never talk[C]ed about
For [D]that would be [Eb]quite [F]rude
Not [D]cricket to [A]picket,
not [D]cricket[A]

[Verse 3]
It's not [Eb]picket to [Bb]cricket, not [Eb]picket
[Bb]Uncult[Eb]ured and un
[Gbdim]mannerly to [F]picket[Bb]
You [Eb]know, you're misbehav[Bb]ing now
You [Eb]mustn't lose your mind
You're [Ab]being so inelegant
[B]And frankly, [Fdim]quite unkind
[Abm]Excuse m[Eb]y indiscretion[C#]
But you're [Eb]older [Edim]than refi[Gb]ned
Not [Bb]picket to cricket,
not [Eb]picket[Bb]

[Verse 4]
It ain't [E]ticket [B]to stick it, not [E]picket
Now offer some
[C#m]Get ea[Gdim]ch man there a crick[B]et
Oh, [E]dear, where is your decency?
No Vanderbilts or Asters
Would [A]ask in such a vulgar way
Be [Am]fitting only dexters
I [E]beg you get the hell [D]away
You [E]lousy [F]bunch of...

[Verse 5]
[G]What do you mean
[E]disturbing [B]the peace?
Come [E]with you often
Oh, [B]you see,
you're brush[E]ing my [B]mink!
Get your [E]hands off, kid!
You don't seem to know who [C#m]I am
[Gdim]Or whom I know[B]
Listen, I'm an intimate friend
of Jimmy [E]Walker
You won't get me in the...
