The Whiffenpoof Song Words & Music by Meade Minnigerode, George S. Pomeroy & Ted Galloway Recorded by Rudy Vallee, 1927 E7 A F#7 D Bm7-5 E7 To the tables down at Mory's, to the place where Louis dwells, D9 Bm7-5 E7 A Edim E7 To the dear old Temple bar we love so well, A F#7 D Bm7-5 E7 Sing the Whiffenpoofs assembled, with their glasses raised on high, D9 Bm7-5 E7 A Edim E7 And the magic of their singing casts a spell. E7 A F#7 D Bm7-5 E7 Yes, the magic of their singing of the songs we love so well, D9 Bm7-5 E7 A "Shall I Wasting" and "Mavourneen" and the rest;

^E7We will ^Aserenade our L^A7ouis while ^D9life and voice shall l^Dm6ast, A D9 E7 E7/9 E7 A E7 Then we'll pass and be forgotten with the rest.

^E7We're p^Aoor little l^F#m7ambs who have ^Bm7lost our w^E7ay: ^Bm7Baa! B^E7aa! B^Aaa! ^Edim ^E7

^E7We're l^Aittle black ^F#m7sheep who have ^Bm7gone ast^E7ray: ^Bm7Baa! B^E7aa! B^Aaa! ^AM7

F#m F#m/E Bm Bm/A Gentlemen songsters off on a spree,

^EDoomed from ^E7here to e^AM7ternity; F#m F#m/A Bm7-5 Fdim Lord have mercy on such as we:

B^D9aa! B^Eaa! ^ABaa! ^AM7
