[Intro]
[Chorus]
N.C.
There are days in my life when everything is drearyN.C.
I grow pessimistic, sad and world wearyN.C.
But when I'm tearful and fearfully upsetN.C.
I always sing this merry little minuet: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
