[Intro 1]
[C#dim][D][A][G][F#][B][Em][G][A][D][A][G][A]

[Verse 1]
There's a [D]tale of [G]two [Dm]little [G]orphans who
Were [D]left in their uncle's care
[G]To be rea[C]red and rul[F]ed and[C] properly
[F]schooled
[Cm]'Til they grew to be [C]ladies [F]fair
But, oh, [Bb]the luckless [A]pair
For [D]the uncle, [G]he was a

[Verse 2]
[D]cruel trust[G]ee
And he longed to possess their gold
So he [C]led them [F]thence to
[C]a forest [F]dense
Where he left [C]them to [F]die of [C]cold[F]
That, [Bb]at least, is what we're
[A]told
[D][Dm][Aaug][Dm][G]

[Verse 3]
[G]They were [D]two little babes in [G]the wood
[D]Two little babes, oh [F#m]so goo[B]d
[Em]Two little h[A]earts
[D]Two little [B]heads
[Em]Longed to be [Edim]home in their
[Em]two little b[A]eds

[Verse 4]
[A]So the [D]two little birds built a nest
Where the two little babes went to [G]rest
While the breeze, hovering [D]high
Sang a [A]last lul[B]laby
To the [Em]two little [G]babes [A]in the wood
[D]

[Verse 5]
They were lying there in the freez[Dm]ing [A]air
[G]When for[D]tunately there
[Dm]appeared[G]
[C]A rich old man in a [F]big sedan
And [C]a very, very fancy [F]beard
[Bb]He saw those girls [A]and cheered

[Verse 6]
Then he [D]drove them down
[Dm]to New York [G]Town
Where he [D]covered them
with [Dm]useful thing[G]s
Such as [C]bonds and stocks,
and [F]Paris frocks
And [C]oriental pearls in [F]strings
And [Bb]a showcase full of [A]rings
[Aaug][A][Bb][Aaug][A]

[Verse 7]
[A]Now, those [D]two little babes in the wood
Are the talk of the whole
[F#m]neighborhood[B]
For they've [Em]too many c[A]ars
[D]Too many [B]clothes
[Em]Too many p[Edim]arties a[Em]nd
too many beau[A]s[Bb]

[Verse 8]
They have [Eb]learned that the
fountain of [Ebaug]youth
[Eb]Is a mixture of gin and vermouth
[Ab]And [Fm]the whole tow[Ab]n's agreed[Eb]
That [Bb]the last thing in [C]sleep
Is the [Ab]two little [Bb]babes in t[Eb]he wood
