Intro: C A7 D7 G7 (x2)
Verse 1:
SprCing is hA7ere, a s-sD7pring is G7here,
LiCfe is skiA7ttles, and lD7ife is bG7eer,
DmI think the lovG7eliest tiCme of the yeG7ar is the sprCing,
(I A7do! Don't D7you? Of course you G7do!)
But there's Dmone thing that mG7akes spring compClete for me,
And mD7akes every Sunday a trGeat for me!G7
Chorus 1:
All the woCrld seems in tune, on a spring afternoon,
When were poisoning pigeons in the G7park,
Every SuDmnday you'll see, my sweetheart and me,
As we poG7ison the pigeons in the pCark!
Post-Chorus 1:
When Fthey see us coming, the biCrdies all try and hide,
But they sD7till go for peanuts when cG7oated with cyanide...
The sCun's shining bright, everything seems all right,
When were poiG7soning pigeons in the pCark!
[Instrumental Break]
Verse 2:
We've G7gained notoriety, and C7caused much anxiety,
In the G7audubon society, C7with our games...
TheyA7 call it impiety, and D7lack of propriety,
And A7quite a variety of...unpleasant naDmes!
But its D7not against any reliGgion, to D7want to dispose of a pG7igeon!
Chorus 2:
G7So,....if C7Sunday is free, why don't you come with me,
And we'll poison the pigeons in the G7park?
And mDmaybe we'll do in a squirrel or two,
While we're poiG7soning pigeons in the pCark,
Post-Chorus 2:
We'll muFrder them all, amid laCughter and merriment,
ExcD7ept for the few we take hG7ome to experiment!
My pCulse will be quickening with each drop of strychenine we D7feed to a G7pigeon,
It jD7ust takes a smiG7dgin, to poD7ison a pG7igeon in the pCark! G7 C
