N.C.

There are days in my life when everything is dreary

N.C.

I grow pessimistic, sad and world weary

N.C.

But when I'm tearful and fearfully upset

N.C.

I always sing this merry little minuet:
[Chorus]
D7They're Grioting in Africa Riff 1 They're sCtarving in SGpain Riff 2 GThere's hurricanes in Florida Riff 1 AndC Texas needs D7rain
[Verse]
D7The wGhole world is fCestering With Cunhappy D7souls GThe CFrench hate the GGermans, The D7Germans hate the Poles
[Verse]
GItalians hate YCugoslavs SoutD7h Africans hate the Dutch And CI don't like D7anybody veryG much C G
[Verse]
GBut we can be Cgrateful AndC thankful and D7proud GThat Cman's been eGndowed With a Cmushroom shaped D7cloud
[Verse]
GAnd we know for Ccertain That D7some happy day CSomeone will set the Gspark off And Cwe will D7all be blown Gaway
[Chorus]
D7They're Grioting in Africa Riff 1 There's sCtrife in IraGn Riff 2 GWhat nature doesn't do to us Riff 1 Will beC done by our fGellow D7man
