Lyrics
These (Gm)chil dren have been spoiled.
I’ve ar (Dm)rived here just in time.
By (E)chance, I’ve brought the pun ish ment that (A7)best be fits crime.
(Dm)Brim stone and trea cle and cod liv er oil,
lib er al (Gm)dos es of (A)each.
With (Dm)These are the treats from which chil dren re coil, the (E7)les
go ing to (Gm)teach.
Just (Gm)fol low my mod el and (Dm)don’t mol ly cod dle.
It (E7)may lead the irk some to (Em)irk.
So (Dm)seek sat is fac tion from (Dm)pu ni tive (Bb)ac tion.
(Dm)Brim stone and (A7)trea cle will (Dm)work.
(Dm)Brim stone and trea cle and car bol ic soap,
these are the (Gm)tools of my (A)trade.
With (Dm)spoon fuls of sug ar you don’t have a hope of (E7)see
chang es are (Gm)made.
Where (Gm)man ners are chron ic, my (Dm)tinc ture’s the ton ic that’s (E7)cer tain to wipe off a (Em)smirk.
Just (Dm)pour out a ra tion in (Dm)ma tron ly (Bb)fash ion.
(Dm)Brim stone and (A7)trea cle will (Dm)work.
I (Dm)won’t stand for whin ing or whing ing or whim per ing, (Bb7)cry ing or ly ing or sob bing or sim per ing.
(Dm)I fear it’s clear that in (Ddim7)these two such bad hab its (A7)lurk.
First (Dm)threat en to throt tle, then (Dm)un cork the (Bb)bot tle.
(Dm)Brim stone and (A7)trea cle will (Bb)work.
(Dm)Brim stone and (A7)trea cle will (Dm)work.
