in the woods of northern michigan , he made his home
Am F E Am F E
didn’t ask much from the world , just wanted to be alone
Am F E Am F E
he got his first real blade at thirteen; that’s when it all began
Am F E Am F E
and soon the creatures of the forest called him “whittlin’ man” – yeah!
A Esus4
he whittled all day and he whittled all night
C5 G5
he whittled , whittled , whittled everything in sight
A Esus4
he whittled on a stick and he whittled on his shoe
C5 G5
and if you come too close , gonna whittle you too
D5 A# D5
keep a safe distance if you can
A# C5
’cause you’re never safe around whittlin’ man
had a stump to sit on; had some wood , had his trusty knife
whittled out a house , a car , and he whittled himself a wife ( such a beautiful wife! )
whittled out four kids , a swimming pool and a big leer jet
and so he wouldn’t miss saved by the bell , when he whittled a t . v . set – yeah!
he’d whittle if its light , and he’d whittle if its dark
and if noah was around , well he’d whittle him an ark
he’d whittle something new and he’d whittle something old
he’d whittle something hot and he’d whittle something rather chilly
keep a safe distance if you can
’cause you’re never safe around whittlin’ man
some say “whittlin’ man’s a genius” , still others say “he’s just dumb”
he whittled off a foot , an ear , three fingers and his left thumb . . . boy , is he dumb!
that won’t stop him , no it won’t – he’ll whittle through thick and thin
and once he’s whittled everything , he’ll just whittle it all again – yeah!
he’d whittle if it’s white , and he’d whittle if it’s black
and he’d whittle on a duck ’til the duck can’t quack
he’d whittle if it’s dry , and he’d whittle if it’s juicy
whittled on desi and he whittled on lucy
whittled jfk and he whittled jackie o
whittled old larry and curly and moe
and he whittled frank zappa and he whittled tipper gore
whittle , whittle , whittle ’til he can’t no more
whittled shamu and he’d whittle on jaws
whittled the easter bunny and he whittled santa claus
he’ll whittle , whittle , whittle just fast as he can
C5 G5 A
whittle till he’s dead – he’s the whittlin’ man . . .
