-- Verse I --

D C G

There once was a poodle who thought he was a cowboy

D C G

He lived in a cage the size of his thumb

D C G

And, though his white horse was a box of toothpicks

D C G

He galloped around until he was hit by a car

-- Verse II --

D C G

Sometimes I flap my arms like a hummingbird

D C G

Just to remind myself I'll never fly

D C G

Sometimes I burn my arms with a cigarette

D C G

Just to pretend I won't scream when I die

-- Chorus --

C G

If my life was as long as the moon's

C G

I'd still be jealous of the sun

C G

If my life lasted only one day

Am C G

I'd still be drunk by noon

Am C G

Yes I'd still be drunk by noon

*Whistling Verse*

-- Verse III --

D C G

Sometimes I hope I come down with cancer

D C G

At least then I'll get to stay in bed and watch TV all day

D C G

And on my deathbed I'll get all the answers

D C G

Even if all my questions are taken away

*Chorus*
