| We're an | oyster cracker | on the stew |
| Em | Em | |
| And the | honey in the | tea |
| D7 | D7 | |
| We're the | sugar cubes, | one lump or two, |
| C7 B7 (/C7/D7 slide) |
| In the black coffee, |
| Em | Em | |
| The | golden crust on an | apple pie, |
| Em | Em | |
| That | shines in the sun at | noon, |
| D7 | D7 | |
| We're a | wheel of cheese | high in the sky, |
| D7 C7 D7 B7 Em * |
| But we're gonna be sinkin' soon. |

| In a | boat that's built of | sticks and hay, |

| We | drifted from the | shore, |

| That he dropped the oar, |
| Em | Em | |
| Now a | tiny hole has | sprung a leak, |
| Em | Em | |
| In this cheap pon | toon, |
| D7 | D7 | |
| Now the | hull has started | growing weak, |
| D7 C7 D7 B7 Em * |
| And we're gonna be sinkin' soon. |
