little boy blue , come blow your horn
G7
the dish ran away with the spoon
Cm
home again , home again saturday morn
G7
he never gets up before noon

well , she used to render you legal and tender
G# D#/G F G
when you used to send her your promises , boy
Cm G/B D#/A# F/A
a diller , a dollar , unbutton your collar
G# D#/G F G
and come out and holler out all of your noise

so little boy blue , come blow your top
and cut it right down to the quick
don’t sit home and cry on the fourth of july
around now you’re hittin’ the bricks

so abracadabra , now she disappeared
everything’s canada dry
so watch your behavior and rattle your cage
with a bottle of bourbon , goodbye

so little boy blue lost little bo peep
she fell through a hole in the nest
now ain’t it peculiar that she’s finally cooled
your big wheels just like all of the rest

whenever it rains , the umbrellas complain
they always get played for a chump
so mark it and strike it , she’s history now
and you’re hangin’ out at the pump

little boy blue , come blow your horn
the dish ran away with the spoon
home again , home again saturday morn
he never gets up before noon

well , she used to render you legal and tender
when you used to send her your promises boy
a diller , a dollar , unbutton your collar
and come out and holler out all of your noise
