To make some C honey just for Am me
When D you look under the D7 rocks and plants,
and G take a glance at the G7 fancy ants,
Then C maybe try a A few
The bare neDmcessities of G life will come to C you,
Dm they'll come G to C you!

Now when you pick a G pawpaw, or a prickly C pear,
And you prick a G raw paw, the next time C beware C7
Don't pick the F prickly pear by the Dm paw,
When you pick a C pear, try to use the Am claw.
