Pierre

       Dm7       G7           Dm7
There once was a boy named Pierre
      G7

    Dm7        G7      Dm7       
who only would say, "I don't 
    G7
care!"
Gm7      C7       Fmaj7         
Read his story by friend, for 
     Bbmaj7
you'll find
       Fmaj7      Bbmaj7   Dm7    
at the end that a suitable moral  
G7     C7sus       Gm7         C7
    lies    there

F   F/E Bbmaj7     F/C
One day his mother said
       F    F/E    Bbmaj7  F/C
when Pierre climbed out of bed,
      Em7    A7        Dm7
"Good morning, darling boy,
G7         C7sus      Gm7
you are my only joy."
   C7                 Fmaj7
Pierre said, "I don't care!"

Dm
"What would you like to eat?"
A7/C#
    "I don't care!"
Dm
"Some lovely cream of wheat?"
A7/C#
    "I don't care!"
Bbmaj7     C7sus/F      F
"Don't sit backwards on your chair."

"I don't care!"
Bbmaj7   C7sus/F  F
"Or pour syrup on your hair."
Em7      A7
"I don't care!"
Dm                     A/C#
"You are acting like a clown."

"I don't care!"
Dm7                  G7
And we have to go to town."

"I don't care!"
Gm7             C7sus/F       
     "Don't you want to come, my 
Fmaj7
dear?"

"I don't care!"
Bbmaj7          C7sus/F     F
     "Would you rather stay right 
here?"

"I don't care!"

   Dm7     G7     Dm7
So his mother
G7        C7sus     Gm7        C7
left him there.

    Em7     A7    Em7          A7
His father said, "Get off your head
   Dm               G7
or I will march you up to bed!"
   Gm7      C7sus/F          Fmaj7
Pierre said,        "I don't care!"
Bbmaj7    Fmaj7   Em7   A7

Dm                            
"I would think that you could 
A/C#
see..."

("I don't care!")
Dm                            
"your head is where your feet should
C7sus
 be!"
    G7
("I don't care!")
Gm7          C7sus/F    Fmaj7
"If you keep standing upside 
down..."

("I don't care!")
Bbmaj7       C7sus/F  Fmaj7
"we'll never ever get to town."
Em7       A7
("I don't care!")
Dm                     A/C#
"If only you would say I care..."

("I don't care!")
Dm                       G7sus
"I'd let you fold the folding 
chair."

("I don't care!")

       Dm7 G7     Dm7
So his parents
G7           Dm7
    left him there.
G7       Dm7    G7       C
    They didn't take him anywhere.
Cmaj7      Fmaj7       Cmaj7

Am                  D7
Now, as the night began to fall
Am                D7
    a hungry lion paid a call.
   Dm7           G7
He looked Pierre right in the eye
    Dm7            G7
and asked him - if he'd like to die.

And Pierre said,
C7sus/F      Fmaj7
    "I don't care!"

Bbmaj7    Fmaj7    Em7  A7
Dm                        A/C#
"I can eat you, don't you see?"

("I don't care!")
Dm                      G7sus
"And you will be inside of me."
    G7
("I don't care!")
Gm7              C7sus/F    
    "Then you'll never have to 
Fmaj7
bother..."

("I don't care!")
Bbmaj7      C7sus/F    Fmaj7
    "With a mother and a father."
Em7       A7
("I don't care!")
Dm                        A/C#
    "Is that all you have to say?"

("I don't care!")
Dm                        G7sus
    "Then I'll eat you if I may."

("I son't care!")

       Dm7  G7
So the li - on
G7    C
ate Pierre.

  C7sus          C
Arriving home at six o'clock
    C7sus/F       C
his parents had a dreadful shock!
     Am7            D7
They found the lion sick in bed
    Am7              D7
and cried "Pierre is surely dead!"
     Bm7             E7
They pulled the lion by the hair.
     C#m7             F#7
They hit him with the folding chair.
    Dm7    Dm7/F   G7
His mother asked, "Where is Pierre?"
        Gm7             C7sus/F
And the lion answered,
         Fmaj7
"I don't care!"
Bbmaj7    Fmaj7

    Dm7
His father said,
G7               C7sus/F    Gm7  
    "Pierre's in there!"
  C7sus/F


C7       F          F/A  Bbmaj7
    They rushed the lion into town.
    F     F/A            Bbmaj7
The doctor     shook him up and 
down.
    Em7      A7   Dm
And when the lion gave a roar
G7    Gm7       C7sus/F      
    Pierre fell out upon the 
Fmaj7     Em7    A7
floor.

Dm                     A/C#
He rubbed his eyes and     scratched
 hiS head
Dm                         G7
    and laughed because he wasn't 
dead.
C7sus/F              F
His mother cried and held him tight.
    Bbmaj7 C7sus/F         F
His father asked, "Are you all 
            Em7    A7
right?"

Dm                     A/C#
Pierre said "I amd feeling fine,
       F/C                         
please     take me home, it's half 
G7/B
past nine."
    Bbmaj7  C7sus/F   F
The lion    said, "If you would care
   Bbmaj7   C7sus/F
to climb on me I'll take you there."

     Gm7      F/C         Gm7     
Then everyone looked at Pierre who
 Fmaj7
 shouted,
       Bbmaj7
"Yes indeed I care!"
    Gm7            C7sus/F
The lion took them home to rest
    F              Dm7
and stayed on as a weekend guest.
    Gm7        C7sus  C7  Fmaj7
The moral of Pierre   is  care!
