[Verse 1]
[C]Let me introduce to you a fine guy
just down from Toronto,
Ed McCurdy.
There was a bold fisherman
[G]who sailed out from Pimlico
[C]To slew the wild codfish
and the bold mackerel
When [F]he got to [C]Pimlico
the stormy [G]winds began [C]to blow
And his [F]little boat went [C]wibble
wobble over[G]board
When [C]he, singing Twink
-a -doodle -dum,
Twink -a -doodle -dum
T 'was the [G]highly interesting
[C]song he sung
Twink -a -doodle -dum,
Twink -a -doodle -dum
Sang the [G]bullfisherman.
[C]He wriggled and squiggled
[G]in the water so [C]briny -o.
He yellowed and bellowed
for [G]help bought in [C]vain.
[F]Downward he did gently [C]glide
to the bot[G]tom of the [C]silvery tide,
And [F]previously to this [C]he'd cried fare thee [G]well,
[C]Mary Jane.
Singing twink -a -doodle -dum,
twink -a -doodle -dum,
T 'was the [G]highly interesting
[C]song he sung,
Twink -a -doodle -dum,
twink -a -doodle -dum,
Sang the bull[G]fisher[C]man.
His ghost walked at midnight
by the bed[G]side of his [C]Mary Jane
when he told her how dead he was
said [G]she I'll [C]go mad if my [F]lovey is so [C]dead
said she no [G]joy on earth can ever [C]be
and I never [F]more will happy [C]be
she went [G]raving [C]mad
[F]singing [C]Twinkle Doodle Dum
Twinkle Doodle
Dum was the [G]highly interesting
[C]song he sung
Twinkle Doodle
Dum
Twinkle Doodle
Sang the [G]bold [C]fisherman applause
Thank you
