(F)Once, in ev ’ry show

Oh, (F)where (Dm)is the (Gm7)song that goes like (Csus)this?

A (F)sen ti men tal song that (C)casts a mag ic spell.

They (Dm)all will hum a long.

(Dm)We’ll (Bb)o ver act like hell.

Oh, (F)this

(Dm)is the (Gm7)song that (C7)goes like this.

(Bb)Now we can go straight in (F)to the mid dle eight, a (Gm7)bridge that (C7)is too (F)far for me.

(F7)I’ll (Bb)sing it in your face,

(A7)while we both em brace, and (Dm)then we (G7)change the (C)key!

(G)Now we’re in to E.

That’s (D)aw fully high for me.

But (Em)ev ’ry one can see
