Recorded by Rudy Vallee, 1927

E7 A F#7 D Bm7-5 E7

To the tables down at Mory's, to the place where Louis dwells,

D9 Bm7-5 E7 A Edim E7

To the dear old Temple bar we love so well,

A F#7 D Bm7-5 E7

Sing the Whiffenpoofs assembled, with their glasses raised on high,

D9 Bm7-5 E7 A Edim E7

And the magic of their singing casts a spell.

E7 A F#7 D Bm7-5 E7

Yes, the magic of their singing of the songs we love so well,

D9 Bm7-5 E7 A

"Shall I Wasting" and "Mavourneen" and the rest;

E7 A A7 D9 Dm6

We will serenade our Louis while life and voice shall last,

A D9 E7 E7 A E7

E7/9

Then we'll pass and be forgotten with the rest.

E7 A F#m7 Bm7 E7

We're poor little lambs who have lost our way:

Bm7 E7 A Edim E7

Baa! Baa! Baa!

E7 A F#m7 Bm7 E7

We're little black sheep who have gone astray:

Bm7 E7 A AM7

Baa! Baa! Baa!

F#m F#m/E Bm Bm/A

Gentlemen songsters off on a spree,

E E7 AM7

Doomed from here to eternity;

F#m F#m/A Bm7-5 Fdim

Lord have mercy on such as we:

D9 E A AM7

Baa! Baa! Baa!
