Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
Some folks [Bm]croon about [Em]moon
and Jun[Bm]e
[A]Some folks [D]scream [G]and holler
But I'm [Bm]going to sing about
a [Em]wonderful [Bm]thing
[A]My [D]shirt col[G]lar
[Eb][D]

[Verse 2]
[G]
[D]Ariba, ariba, whoo, whoo, Here we [G]go...[D]
[G]My shirt collar
[Bm]My shirt collar
[C]It won't go stiff
No, it won't [D]go stiff
[G]It used to stand up and [Bm]touch my ears
But now I've got [C]to be careful
in [D]case it disappears
[G]When I was younger it was up in a jiff
[C]Were it more rigid it would [Cm]be terrif'
[G]But my shirt collar
[Bm]My shirt collar, whoo wh[C]oo, oh n[D]o
It will not go stiff
[G]

[Verse 3]
[D]
It [G]won't go stiff, no it won't [Bm]go stiff
It's [C]once proud rigidity is
[D]only a myth
[G]The miserable thing I am hold
[Bm]ing in my hand which is
[C]Limper than the lettuce in yer
[D]British Rail sandwiches
[G]What was once a certainty
is only an 'if'
[C]Bang goes the happiness,
me [Cm]joi- de- life
'Cause [G]my shirt collar,
[Bm]whoo whoo,[C] oh no[D]
It will not go stiff
[G]

[Verse 4]
Well [D]I soaked it, [F]doped [C]it,
tied it up [G]and roped it
Var[Bb]nished it [F]but still it ends up [G]bent
I've [Am]stuffed it into [F]kettles,
I've wal[C]loped it with [G]metals
[A]I've squirted it with aftershave and [D]filled

[Interlude 1]
it with cement
[D][G][Bm][C]
[D][G][Bm][C]
[D]

[Verse 5]
[G]My shirt collar
[Bm]My shirt collar
It [C]won't go stiff
No, it won't [D]go stiff
[G]I used to dress so it protruded
[Bm]at a rakish angle
[C]But now I keep it covered up
[D]and all it does is dangle
It was [G]up like a rocket on
November the fifth
But it has[C]n't happened since
and [Cm]the ladies just sniff
[G]My shirt collar
[Bm]My shirt collar, whoo wh[C]oo,
[D]oh[G][Bm]
[C]no[D][G][Bm]
[C][D]

[Outro 1]
It will not go stiff
[G][Bm][C]
[D][G][Bm]
[C][D][G][Cm]
