Pencil Thin Moustache

D    F#7   B7   B7
E7   A7    D    A7


[Verse]
D                 F#7       B7
Now they make new movies in old black and white
E7                        A7
With happy endings, where nobody fights
   D               F#7           B7
So if you find yourself in that nostalgic rage
       E7                A7
Honey, jump right up and show your age...


[Chorus]
  D            F#7         B7
I wish I had a pencil thin moustache
E7         A7      D
The Boston Blackie kind
  D         F#7      B7
A two toned Ricky Ricardo jacket
       E7                     A7
And an autographed picture of Andy Devine

D                D7
I remember bein' buck-toothed and skinny
G                      Bb
Writin' fan letters to Sky's niece Penny
     D            F#7         B7
Oh I wish I had a pencil thin moustache
     E7                 A7        D
Then I could solve some mysteries too


[Bridge]
          Em         B7          Em         B7
Then it's Bandstand, Disneyland, growin' up fast
Em            B7     Em
Drinkin' on a fake I.D
          F#m          C#7         F#m       C#7
Yeah, and Ramar of the jungle was everyone's B'wana
    E7                       A7
But only jazz musicians were smokin' marijuana
        D            F#7         B7
Yeah, I wish I had a pencil thin moustache
     E7                 A7        D
Then I could solve some mysteries too


[Break]
D    F#7   B7   B7
E7   A7    D    A7

D            F#7         B7
(Thin, thin, pencil thin moustache...)

E7   A7   D


[Bridge]
          Em        B7         Em         B7
Then it's flat top, dirty bop, coppin' a feel
 Em             B7          Em       B7
Grubbin' on the livin' room floor (so sore)
           F#m             C#7              F#m          C#7
Yeah, they send you off to college, try to gain a little knowledge
    E7                    A7
But all you want to do is learn how to score


[Verse]
          D               F#7        B7
Yeah, but now I'm gettin' old, don't wear underwear
  E7                       A7
I don't go to church and I don't cut my hair
    D           F#7        B7
But I can go to movies and see it all there
         E7          A7      D
Just the way that it used to be


[Chorus]
             D            F#7         B7
That's why I wish I had a pencil thin moustache
E7         A7      D
The Boston Blackie kind
  D         F#7     B7
A two toned Ricky Ricardo jacket
       E7                     A7
And an autographed picture of Andy Devine

D                       D7
Oh, I could be anyone I wanted to be
      G                        Bb
Maybe suave Errol Flynn or the Sheik of Araby
     D          F#7         B7
If I only had a pencil thin moustache
     E7              A7       D
Then I could do some cruisin' too


[Coda]
      D
Yeah, Brylcreem, a little dab'll do yah
    E7              A7       D       A7    D
Oh, I could do some cruisin' too
