  And an awful cloud is daring to pour
                     C             F      F7(G5)      C  Fm  
  Such a wild scene a 3-D picture bible story

  Shuffling gaily for the camera
C                           Fm                 + Figure 2
  Doing high kicks in their felt button boots
                          C                 F   F7(G5)    C  Fm
