Standard (EADGBE)
come the day i lose my marbles
walk me gently to the stables
sit me in a comfy sofa
wheel me out to graze
when i'm dragged before the jury
plead for me if i'm deemed worthy
steal a song and sing it backwards
yodel till the cows come home
1 you'll get a bag of clues
2 do you need much more
or 3 do you just want to play the numbers
4 you'll get it on a plate
5, 6, 7 and 8 all said one skeleton is all you're getting
better rattle it along while it's got
a bit of muscle on it
(and so on.....)
when it comes my time to snuff it
play complete control and abide with me
fill a pine bungalow with whiskey
shove me where the sun don't shine
come the day i lose my marbles
lead me gently out to graze
steal a song and sing it sideways
yodel till the cows come home
just want to play the numbers
do you
do you want to play the numbers
