C G C G
there’s a lake in the park , there’s a house by the lake;
C F G Am
there’s a girl in the house in the park by the lake;
Dm F C G
and the girl in the house by the lake in the park
F G C
is the girl in the little green hat .

C G C G
and tonight after eight , that’s when i’ve got a date;
C F G Am
when the moon’s riding high and the stars light the sky;
Dm F C G
with the girl in the house by the lake in the park;
F G C
the girl in the little green hat .

E B E B
theres no water in the lake , theres no roof upon the house;
E B E
no trees – es in the park at all;
G D G D
but i’ll wait beside the lake , i’ll be welcome at the house;
G D G
i’ll meet her by the garden wall .

C G C G
there’s a ship on the lake , there’s a sailor on the shore;
C F G Am
there’s a girl in his arms , she’s the girl i adore;
Dm F C G
so goodbye to the house by the lake in the park;
F G C
and the girl in the little green hat .

C G C G
there’s a storm on the lake , there’s a ship in the storm;
C F G Am
there’s a girl on the ship in the storm on the lake;
Dm F C G
and the girl on the lake on the ship in the storm
F G C
is the girl in the little green hat .

C G C G
as the ship starts to dip , she is losing her grip;
C F G Am
every dip makes her tip , not the girl , but the ship;
Dm F C G
but the girl on the ship has the pip from the trip;
F G C
the girl in the little green hat .

E B E B
she’s been sailing quite enough , she’s been clinging to the rails;
E B E
she’s dying to be home once more;
G D G D
’cause the lake is rather rough , and the girl is rather pale;
G D G
she’s glad to get her feet on shore .

C G C G
ah , she gave up the ship , and the captain and his men
C F G Am
for a round ticket trip to my arms once again;
Dm F C G
now i’m back in the park at the house by the lake;
F G C
with the girl in the little green hat .

cheers , and good luck .
