[Verse 1]
GWhen I was a lad of Cthree-foot-three
DCertain questions occGurred to me
So I Gasked me father quite Cseriously
To Dtell me the story 'bout the Gbird and bee D
He Gstammered and he stuttered paCthetically
DAnd this is what he said to Gme
[Chorus]
He said, "The Gwoman piaba and the Gman piaba
And the GTon Ton call baka Dlemon grass
The Glily root, Ggully root, Gbelly root Cuhmm
And the Dfamous grandy scratch scratch Gm
[Verse 2]
It was Gmclear as mud but it cCmovered the ground
And the Dconfusion made the Gbrain go 'round
I Gwent and ask a good Cfriend of mine
DKnown to the world as GAlbert Einstein
He said "BSon,
from the beGginning of time and creaCtivity
DThere existed the force of relaGtivity
GPi r square and a Cminus ten
is a Droutine only Gwhen D
GThe solar system in Cone light year
D7Make the Hayden planetarium dGisappear
So Gif Mt Everest Cdoesn't move
I am D7positive that it will pGrove
[Chorus]
That the Gwoman piaba and the Gman piaba
And the GTon Ton call baka Dlemon grass
The Glily root, Ggully root, Gbelly root Cuhmm
And the Dfamous grandy scratch scratch Gm
[Verse 3]
GmIt was clear as mud but it Ccovered the ground
DAnd the confusion made the Gbrain go 'round
GI grabbed a boat and went Cabroad
D7In Baden Baden asked GSigmund Freud
GHe said "Son, from your sad face Cremove the grouch
DPut the body down up Gon the couch
GI can see from Cyour frustration
Da neurotic subliGmation, DHey!
GLove and hate is Cpsychosomatic
DYour Rorsach shows that you're a Gperi pathetic
GIt all started with a Cbroken sibling
D7In the words of the famous GRudyard Kipling
[Chorus]
He said, "The G7woman piaba and the G7man piaba
And the GTon Ton call baka Dlemon grass
The Glily root, Ggully root, Gbelly root Cuhmm
And the Dfamous grandy scratch scratch Gm
[Verse 4]
GWell I traveled far and I Ctraveled wide
DAnd I don't even have me Gself a bride
GAll the great men Cupon this earth
DHave confused me since my Gbirth D
GI've been over land and been Cover sea
DTrying to find answer 'bout the Gbird and bee
GBut now that I am Cninety three
DI don't give a dGamn you see
[Chorus]
If the Gwoman piaba and the Gman piaba
And the GTon Ton call baka Dlemon grass
The Glily root, Ggully root, Gbelly root Cuhmm
And the Dfamous grandy scratch scratch G
