Skipper Dan Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I s[G]tar[D]red[G] in[D]
every high school [G]play
Blew every [D]drama teacher [G]away
Gradu[D]ated first in my [G]class at [C]Jul[D]liard

[Verse 2]
[G]
[D]Took eve[G]ry act[D]ing workshop I cou[G]ld[C]
[G]And I [D]dreamed of Hollywood
[G]Whi[C]le [G]I read m[D]y Uta Hagen,[G]
[C]and studied [D]the Bard

[Verse 3]
[G][C]
[G]Hit the [D]boards and paid my [G]dues[C]
And [D]got phenomenal rave re[G]views
[C]I kne[G]w the[D] world was gonna love me,
[C]without [D]a doubt

[Verse 4]
[G]I was[D] sure that Tarantino would
be calling me [G]on my [C]phone
[D]Annie Liebowitz would shoot
me for [G]Rolling [C]Stone
[D]But the years have come and
[C]gone and I'm sorry to say
[G]That's not the way that
it's all worked out
[D]I'm a

[Verse 5]
[A]tour guide on
[G]the Jungle Cruise [D]ride
[G]Skipper [D]Dan is [A]the name
And I'm [Bm]doing [F#m]34 sho[G]ws every day[D]
And [G]every time it's [A]the same

[Verse 6]
[Bm]Look at those hippos,
they're wig[F#m]gling their ears
[G]Just like they've done for
the [A]last 50 years
Now I'm laugh[D]ing at my [A]own jokes,
but I'm [G]crying in[D]side
'Cause I'm [G]working on the [A]Jungle
Cruise [D]ride
[G][C][G][D]

[Verse 7]
[G][D]
Oh the critics they used to say,
[G]I w[D]as the new Olivie[G]r[D]
Thought I'd be the toast [G]of
Sundance, or [C]maybe [D]Can[G]nes
[C]Ah, but don't [D]bother
trying [G]to [C]IMDB me
[G]The onl[D]y place you might pos[G]sibly see[C] me
Is rid[D]ing my little [G]boat around
[D]Adv[C]entureland
It [G]ain't exactly what I planned but
[D]I'm a

[Verse 8]
[A]tour guide on
[G]the Jungle Cruise [D]ride
[G]Skipper [D]Dan is the [A]name
And I'm [Bm]doing [F#m]34 sho[G]ws every day[D]
And [G]every time it's [A]the same

[Verse 9]
[Bm]I would've killed if I'd
been [F#m]in Speed- the- Plow
[G]But what's the difference that's
[A]all behind me now
'Cause I'm pay[D]ing the [A]rent and
I'm swal[G]lowing my pride
[D]And I'm wor[G]king on the[A] Jungle
Cruise [D]ride[F]

[Verse 10]
I should be there on [G]Broadway,
Knocking 'em [C]dead in
[G]12 Angry Men[Am][F]
But instead I'm here [G]telling
these lame jokes
[A]Again, and again, and again, and again,
And again, and again,
and again

[Verse 11]
[D](Bengal tigers [A]can[G][D]
jump [G]over 20 feet)
[D](That's an [A]African[Bm][F#m]
Bull- Elephant)
(There it [G]is,
the back[D]side [G]of water)
(What have [A]I done with my l[Bm]ife?)

[Verse 12]
I should've listened when [F#m]my
Grandfather said
[G]Why don't you major in
busi[A]ness instead?
Now my [D]hopes have all van[A]ished
and my [G]dreams have all [D]died
And I'll [G]probably work [A]forever as a

[Verse 13]
[D]Tour [A]guide on [G]the Jungle Cruise [D]ride
[G]Skipper [D]Dan is the [A]name
And I'm [Bm]doing [F#m]34 sho[G]ws every day[D]
And [G]every time it's the [A]same

[Verse 14]
[Bm]Look at those hippos,
they're wig[F#m]gling their ears
[G]Somebody shoot me 'cause
[A]I'm bored to tears
Always [D]said I'd be fam[A]ous,
I [G]guess that I [D]lied
'Cause I'm [G]working on
[A]the Jungle Cruise [Bm]ride[A]
I'm still [G]working on the [A]Jungle Cruise [D]ride
