[Verse 1]
[G]I'm[D][G][D]
[G]just [D]about to
[G]hol[D]d a competition.
[G]A competition?
It's just a little bright idea of [D]mine.
A bright idea, I'm sure it is.
I'm [B]going to write a rhyming
[E]composition.
A rhym[B]ing composi[Em]tion?
And [A]then leave you to add
the ending [D]line.
The ending line?
I'll [Eb]sing the whole thing first
in case [D]there's doubt.
In case there's doubt.
The second [A]time I leave, the last [D]line out,
the last line [G]out[D]
There [G]was a [D]young [A]lady of [D]Ealing
Who walked upside down on the [G]ceiling
She fell on her neck
[E]and she [A]murmured, by heck
It's a [D]very pecu[G]liar feeling
[Em]That[D] was a[G] g[Em]ood r[A]ide[D]
Same as the other one
[G]There [D]was[G] a[D][G][D][G][D][G]
young man [D]from [A]Calcut[D]ta
Who was having a sleep in the [G]gutter
The heat from the [E]sun
burnt him [A]up like a [D]bun.[G][D]
[Abdim]There was[D] a you[G]ng man of St[A]. Paul's[D]
[A]Who[D] once did a turn on the hal[G]ls.
His favorite trick [E]was [A]to stand on a stick.
[Adim][D][G][D][G][Em][A][D]

[Bb]low named Skin[Eb]ner
Who once took a girl out to [Ab]dinner
At a quarter to [F]nine they [Bbm]sat
down to [Eb]dine[Bbdim][Eb][Ab]
[Eb]There [Ab]was a young
[Fm]lady [Bb]of Hi[Eb]tchin'

nose in the [Ab]kitchen
Her mother sent rose,

Back [Bb]once [Eb]in a while,
St. Vincent was a [Ab]wonder.
