Melanie - Alexander beetle

^Di ^Ghad a little beetle, so that ^Cbeetle was his ^Gname and i ^Ccalled him Alex^Gander and he ^Danswered just the same ^Gand ^Di ^Gput him in a matchbox and i ^Ckept him all the ^Gday but ^Cnanny let my ^Gbeetle out and ^Dbeetle ran a^Gway

^Dshe ^Gsaid she didn't mean it and i ^Cnever said she ^Gdid she ^Csaid she wanted ^Gmatches and she ^Djust took off the lid she ^Gsaid i mustn't worry and i ^Creally mustn't ^Gmind that there's ^Clots and lots of ^Gbeetles thats she's ^Dcertain we could find said if we ^Glooked in all the places that a ^Cbeetle might be ^Gnear and we m^Cade the kind of ^Gnoises that a ^Dbeetle likes to hear

^Gthen ^Di ^Gheard a kind of something and i ^Cgave a sort of ^Gshout it was a beetle house and Alexander ^Dbeetle coming ^Gout it was Alexander beetle i'm as ^Ccertain as can ^Gbe and he ^Chad that kind of ^Glook as though he ^Dthought it might be me

^Gand ^Dhe ^Ghad that kind of look as though he ^Cthought he ought to ^Gsay "i'm ^Creally very ^Gsorry that i ^Dtried to run away" ^Gan^Dd ^Gnanny's very sorry too cause ^Cyou know what she ^Gdid and she's ^Cwriting Ale^Gxander very ^Dblackly on the ^Glid ^Dso ^Gnan and me are friends because it's ^Cdifficult to ^Gcatch an ex^Ccited Alex^Gander you've mis^Dtaken for a ^Gmatch ^{D G C G}
