G D A
his pants had holes in the knees but he was proud as you please
G A D
with his ol’ wellies he keep strolling along

D
as we got older and slyer and bolder
A
and the girls we had our eyes on they got older as well
G D
with paint on their faces and curves in nice places
Bm A D
well we were dressed to impress them and we thought we were swell!

D
well our duds were in fashion to kindle their passion
A
but there was kevin on the dance floor looking anything but neat
D
he was tryin’ to flirt in his hand – me – down shirt ,
Bm A D
with the same ol’ wellies on his two big feet!
