Tuning: E A D G B E
[Verse 1]
C G7 C
One fine day as I was walking down the street
G7
Spied a beggar man with rags upon his feet
C C7
Took a penny from my pocket
F Fm
In his tin cup I did drop it
C G7 C
I heard him say as I made my retreat
[Chorus]
G7 C
May the bird of paradise fly up your nose
G7
May an elephant caress you with his toes
C C7 F
May your wife be plagued with runners in her hose
C G7 C
May the bird of paradise fly up your nose
[Verse 2]
G7 C
The laundry man is really on his toes
G7
Found a hundred dollar bill among my clothes
C C7
When he called me I came running
F Fm
Gave him back his dime for phoning
C G7 C
I heard him saying as I turned to go
[Chorus]

May the bird of paradise fly up your nose

I was way behind one day to catch the train
G7
The Taxi driver said We'll make it just the same
C C7
The speed cop made it with us
F Fm
And as he wrote out the ticket
C G7 C
I stood by politely waiting for my change
[Chorus]

May the bird of paradise fly up your nose

May an elephant caress you with his toes
C C7 F
May your wife be plagued with runners in her hose
C G7 C
May the bird of paradise fly up your nose
