[Verse 1]
[Am]Ther[D]e was once[Am]
[D]a boy named [Am]Pier[D]re
Who [Am]only [D]would say, I don't care!
Read [G]his story, my [C]friend, for [F]you'll find
At the [C]end [F]that a suitable
[Am]Mor [D]al l[Gsus4]ies ther[G]e

[Verse 2]
[C]One day [F]his mother said
When [C]Pierre [F]climbed out of bed
Good [Bm]morni[E]ng, darling [Am]boy,
[D]you are my onl[Gsus4]y joy
[G]Pierre said [Gsus4]I don't care![C][F][C][E]
[Am]What would you like to eat?
[E]I don't care!
[Am]Some lovely cream of wheat?
[D]I don't care!
[F]Don't sit backwards in you[C]r chair
I [F]don't care!
Or pour syr[Gsus4]up on your h[C]air
I [E]don't care!
[Am]You are acting like a clown
[E]I don't care!
[Am]And we have to go to t[D]own
I don't care!
Don't [Gsus4]you want to come, my de[C]ar?
I don't care!
[F]Would you rat[Gsus4]her stay right[C] here?
I don't care!
So [Am]his m[D]other left him t[Gsus4]here[G]

[Verse 3]
His [Bm]father [E]said get[Bm] off you[E]r head
Or [Am]I will march you up[D] to bed!
[Dm]Pierre s[Gsus4]aid I[F][Gsus4]
don't [C]care![F][C][E]
[Am]I would think that you could see[E]
I don't care!
[Am]Your head is where your
feet [D]should be!
I don't care!
[Dm]If you k[Gsus4]eep standing upside [C]down
I don't care!
[F]We'll [Gsus4]never get[C] to town
[E]I don't care!
[Am]If only you would say, I car[E]e
I don't care!
[Am]I'd let you fold the foldi[D]ng chair
I don't care!
So his [Am]par e[D]nts left him there
They [Am]did n[D]'t take him
[G]anywhere[C]
[G][C][G][C][G]

[Verse 4]
[Em]Now as the night b[A]egan to fall
[Em]A hungry lion paid[A] a call
He [Am]looked Pierre [D]right in the eye
And [Am]asked him if [D]he'd like to die
[Dm]Pierre [Gsus4]said I do[G]n't care![C][F][C][E]
[Am]I can eat you, don't you see[E]?
I don't care!
[Am]And you will be inside o[D]f me
I don't care!
Then [Dm]you will neve[Gsus4]r have to both[C]er
I don't care!
[F]With a mot[G]her and a f[C]ather
I [E]don't care!
[Am]Is that all you have to sa[E]y?
I don't care!
[Am]Then I'll eat you, if I ma[D]y
I don't care!
So [Am]the l[D]ion ate Pierre
[G]

[Verse 5]
Arriv[F]ing [Gsus4]home at six o'clo[G]ck
His parent[Gsus4]s had a
[G]dreadful shock!
[Em]They found the lion [A]sick in bed and [Em]cried
Pierre [A]is surely dead!
They [F#m]pulled the lion [B]by the hair
They [G#m]hit him wi[B]th the fo[C#]lding chair
His [Am]mother asked, [D]where is Pierre?
The [Dm]lion answered,
[Gsus4]I don't c[G]are![C][F][C]
His [Am]father said,
[D]Pierre's in [G]the[Gsus4]re![G]

[Verse 6]
They [C]rushed the lion [F]into town
The [C]doctor shook him [F]up and down
And [Bm]when [E]the lion [Am]gave a [D]roar
Pierre [Dm]fell [Gsus4]out
[F]upon the [C]floor[Bm][E]
[Am]He rubbed his eyes and
[E]scratched his head
[Am]And laughed because he
[D]wasn't dead
[Gsus4]His mother cried and held him t[C]ight
[F]His father asked, [G]are you [C]alright?[Bm]
[Am]Pierre said I am feeling f[E]ine
[C]Please take me home,
it's half [F#dim]past nine

[Verse 7]
[F]The lion [G]said, if [C]you would care
[F]To climb on me, I'll [C]take you there
Then [Dm]everyone [Gsus4]looked at Pierre
[G]Who[C] shouted yes, indee[F]d, I care!
[Dm]The lion took them [Gsus4]home to rest
[C]And stayed on as a [Am]weekend guest
[G]The mor[Dm]al of Pie[G]rre is, car[C]e![F]
