Bad Dad From Bagdad Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
I [Am]know [Ab]a real fine family
that lives in [Am]Baghdad
Old [Ab]fam ily's good, except Dad,
[G]man, he's bad
And they call him [Ab]Bad Dad
from Bagh[Am]dad[C][Am]
He's [C]tall and keen, tough and mean
Nobody bothers old Bad Dad
He's a hustler, and a stealer,
and a shuffler, and a dealer,
and he likes [D]to gamble in [G]Baghdad
He'll call em, [C]an d bet em,
and deal em, and sweat em,
and raise any bet in [F]Baghdad
He's [G]rough, and tough,
and hard to bluff, and stuff,
and ain't nobody messin' [C]with Baghdad
[Am]Baghdad dumps on his humpback,
gamblin' rides,
and rambles in Baghdad
He plays nice, and cards,
and likes his whiskey hard,
and [D]he'll party all night in [G]Baghdad
He'll [C]pet him and beat him and stack him
and cheat him
and call any bet [F]in Baghdad
But he [G]lost his gamble
when [Gm]he fed his mammal one [G]night
as he gambled in [C]Baghdad[Am]
He's [C]fussin' and cussin' cause
he lost with a flush
and that's a pretty good
hand in Baghdad
He's a -mummin' and grummin' and fummin' and
stummin' and [D]walkin' the streets of [G]Baghdad
He's [C]sittin' and drinkin' and pettin' and thinkin'
he'll get back the camel that [F]he had
There's [Gm]no doubt a[G]bout it,
he can't live without his humpback
camel from [C]Baghdad
[Am]Baghdad dumps on his humpback camel
and riots and rambles in Baghdad
He plays dice and cards
and likes his whiskey hard
and [D]a fight every night in [G]Baghdad
He'll [C]bet him and beat him and stack him
and cheat him
and call any bet in [F]Baghdad
But he [G]lost his camel
when he bedded his mammal one night
as he camelled in [C]Baghdad[Am]
Now he's [C]working for a Turk
and he's a -herding for certain
and he's working every
day and that's bad
He's a -missing his mammal
and wishing his camel
had [D]never been bedded [G]in Baghdad
He's a -working and [C]slaving and hoping and
praying and paying for the camel that [F]he had
It's a [G]real fine mammal,
the very best camel
with a tailor -made hump
[C]for old Baghdad
Bagh[Am]dad jumps on
his humpback camel
and rides and rambles in Baghdad
Plays dice and cards and likes
his whiskey hard,
[D]no fight of the night in [G]Baghdad
He'll bet him and [C]beat him and stack him and
cheat him and call any bet in Baghdad
[F]But he los[G]t his gamble
when [Gm]he met his mamma
One [G]night as he gambled him [C]back

[Outro 1]
