Oom-Pah-Pah
Lionel Bart

[D]There’s a little ditty, they’re [E]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 [E]own imaginations should 
[A]Tell you just ex[E7]actly what [D]you want [A7]to [D]hear

[D]Oom-pah-pah, oom-pah-pah, [E]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

[D]Mister Percy Snodgrass would [E]often have the odd glass 
Es[A]pecially when he thought no[E7]body could [A7]see 
[D]Secretly he’d buy it, and [E]drink it on the quiet
And [A]dream he was an [E7]earl with a [D]girl on [A7]each [D]knee

[D]Oom-pah-pah, oom-pah-pah, [E]that’s how it goes 
[A]Oom-pah-pah, oom-pah-pah, [D]everyone [A7]knows 
[D]What is the cause of his [E7]red shiny nose?
[A]Could it be [A7]oom pah-[D]pah?

[D]Pretty little Sally, goes [E]walkin’ down the alley,
Dis[A]plays her pretty ankles to [E7]all of the [A7]men
[D]They could see her garters, but [E]not for free and gratis
An [A]inch or two, and [E7]then she knows [D]when to [A7]say [D]when

[D]Oom-pah-pah, oom-pah-pah, [E]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

[*key change]
[Eb]She was from the country, but [F]now she’s up a gum-tree.
She [Bb]let a fella feed her, and [F7]lead her a[Bb7] long
[Eb]What’s the good of cryin’, she [F]made a bed to lie in
She’s [Bb]glad to bring a [F7]coin in, and [Eb]join in [Bb7] this [Eb]song

[Eb]Oom-pah-pah, oom-pah-pah, [F]that’s how it goes 
[Bb]Oom-pah-pah, oom-pah-pah, [Eb]everyone [Bb7] knows 
[Eb]They all suppose what they [F7]want to suppose
[*slow down] [Bb]When they hear [Bb7] oom pah-[Eb]pah
