We're an oyster cracker on the stew
        Em           Em
And the honey in the tea
          D7           D7
We're the sugar cubes, one lump or 
two,
C7               B7 (/C7/D7 slide)
 In the black coffee,
  / Em                 Em
The golden crust on an apple pie,
     Em                   Em
That shines in the sun at noon,
        D7              D7
We're a wheel of cheese high in the 
sky,
D7        C7    D7 B7      Em
But we're gonna be sinkin' soon.

Piano Solo 3x: Em

     Em                   Em
In a boat that's built of sticks and
 hay,
   Em               Em
We drifted from the shore,
       D7            D7
With a captain who's too proud to 
say,
C7                   B7  ( C7 D7 )
 That he dropped the oar,

    Em            Em
Now a tiny hole has sprung a leak,
Em               Em
In this cheap pontoon,
        D7               D7
Now the hull has started growing 
weak,
D7        C7    D7 B7      Em
And we're gonna be sinkin' soon.

      G

        G
Sinkin' soon,
      Em
We're gonna be
        Em
Sinkin' soon,
G         C7
Everybody hold your breath 'cuz,
      B7               Em
We're gonna be sinkin' soon

Down and down we go.

         Em             Em
Like the oyster cracker on the stew,
    Em           Em
The honey in the tea
    D7           D7
The sugar cubes, one lump or two?
C7                      B7 ( C7 D7 )
 No thank you, none for me.
         Em                 Em
We're the golden crust on an apple 
pie,
     Em                   Em
That shines in the sun at noon,
         D7              D7
Like the wheel of cheese high in the
 sky
D7             C7    D7 B7      
Well ... we're gonna be sinkin' 
Em
soon.
