Oom-Pah-Pah - Lionel Bart
Intro: [D]
Verse 1:
[D] There’s a little ditty, they’re [E7] singin’ in the city
Es[A]pecially when they’ve been on the [E7] gin or the [A7] beer
[D] If you’ve got the patience, your [E7] own imaginations should
[A] Tell you just exactly what [D] you want [A7] to [D] hear
|Chorus:
|[D] Oom-pah-pah, oom-pah-pah, [E7] that’s how it goes
|[A] Oom-pah-pah, oom-pah-pah, [D] everyone [A7] knows
|[D] They all suppose what they [E7] want to suppose
|[A] When they hear [A7] oom pah-[D]pah
Verse 2:
[D] Mister Percy Snodgrass would [E7] often have the odd glass
But [A] never when he thought any[E7]body could [A7] see
[D] Secretly he’d buy it, and [E7] drink it on the quiet
And [A] dream he was an Earl with a [D] girl on [A7] each [D] knee
Chorus:
Verse 3:
[D] Pretty little Sally, goes [E7] walkin’ down the alley,
Dis[A]plays her pretty ankles to [E7] all of the [A7] men
[D] They could see her garters, but [E7] not for free and gratis
An [A] inch or two, and then she knows [D] when to [A7] say [D] when
|Chorus:
|[D] Oom-pah-pah, oom-pah-pah, [E7] that’s how it goes
|[A] Oom-pah-pah, oom-pah-pah, [D] everyone [A7] knows
|[D] Whether it’s hidden or [E7] whether it shows
|[A] It’s the same [A7] oom pah-[D]pah
Verse 4:
[D] She was from the country, but [E7] now she’s up a gum-tree.
She [A] let a fella feed her, and [E7] lead her [A7] along
[D] What’s the good of cryin’, she's [E7] made a bed to lie in
She’s [A] glad to bring a coin in, and [D] join in [A7] this [D] song
Chorus:
Outro:
[D] Oom-pah-pah, oom-pah-pah, [E7] that’s how it goes
[A] Oom-pah-pah, oom-pah-pah, [D] everyone [A7] knows
[D] They all suppose what they [E7] want to suppose
*(slowing) [A] When they hear [A7] oom pah-[D]pah!!
