C   G     F          A                 Dm
Alligators, nature's surfboards in the swamp
       F              G
With a playful little chomp
                           C
Let you know that you're a friend

         G       F                 A             Dm
And they love you, they'll let you surf all afternoon
         F           G
Give you cookies and balloons
                        Ab   Bb Eb G Ab
And some pocket cash to spend

[Chorus]
  Bb     Eb           G       Ab       Bb        Eb   G   Ab
I do not know what to get you for your birthday, I do not know
  Bb     Eb           G       Ab       Bb      F7 G
I do not know what to get you for your birthday

[Verse]
C       G     F        A               Dm
Pretzel makers, making pretzels at the fair
        F                    G
Casting pretzels through the air
                C
Onto senior citizens

      F      F      A           Dm
Seven tickets for a shot at Mr. Gray
          F             G
He's been sitting there all day
                        Ab   Bb Eb G Ab
This is where the fun begins

[Chorus]
  Bb     Eb           G       Ab       Bb        Eb   G   Ab
I do not know what to get you for your birthday, I do not know
  Bb     Eb           G       Ab       Bb        Eb   G   Ab
I do not know what to get you for your birthday, I do not know
  Bb     Eb           G       Ab       Bb        Eb   G   Ab
I do not know what to get you for your birthday, I do not know
  Bb     Eb           G       Ab       Bb        Eb   G   Ab
I do not know what to get you for your birthday, I do not know
