Lyrics

Oh, the (C6)shark has

pret ty (Dm)teeth, dear,

and he (Dm7)shows them

pear ly (C6)white.

Just a (Am7)jack knife

has Mac (Dm7)heath, dear,

and he keeps it

out of (C6)sight.

When the (C6)shark bites

with his (Dm)teeth, dear,

scar let (Dm7)bil lows

start to (C6)spread.

Fan cy (Am7)gloves, though,

wears Mac (Dm7)heath, dear,

so there’s not a

trace of (C6)red.

On the (C6)town.
