MaCriyln Monroe was Fso tiCred, she was Fso tCired, she was Gso tCired
CiCty girl lost in a Ffield of Crye and Fsee what Cshe Ghas Cdone
FNow she's out on a boat on the Cocean
Gturning around and Caround
FSail for a dress and her Chand on her breast Gout on the rolling Amsea, Gout on
the rolling Csea
(slide tune)
Repeat pattern:
John Wayne was so sick he was so thick, he was up a crick
Cowboy lost in a long steel hall and see what he has done
Now he's out on a boat on the ocean turning around and around
Lashed to the mast and free at last out on the rolling sea out on the rolling sea
Elvis Presley was so fat they gave him all that, just to stand pat
Jaguar lost in a living room and you see what he has done
Now he's out on a boat on the ocean turning around and around
The dolphins gather to hear him moan out on the rolling sea, out on the rolling sea
FAnd will you rock the boat, Mr. CPresley'
GWill you let us see it, Miss AmMonroe'
FWill you save us, Mr. John Wayne, Csir'
GWe come so far Amto go back alone
We Fcome Cso Gfar
(slide tune)
ACll the long ships are Fsailing Caway with Fone little Ccandle to Glight the Cway
'Ctil they come to a place where the sFun goes Cdown and they Fall start Cturning
G C
A-round
and they Fall start Cturning Ga-Cround
they Fall start Gturning a-Cround
(slide tune, finish on strummed C)
