F# Bm F#7 Bm
E A D B
[Verse 1]
EmWithout her flying trAesses
I Dwould have, heretofoEreA  
EmHad quite a hard time gAuessing
From Dwhich way the wind EblowsA  
[Chorus]
DAbsolutely noF#thing should Bmbe thrown aF#way
BmOn a desert iF#sland all of hEer muAst stDayB  
[Verse 2]
EmI wonder how I everA  
SuDrvived without her cEheeksA  
EmThat fed me two red appAles
On eaDch day of the weekE  A  
[Chorus]
DAbsolutely noF#thing should Bmbe thrown aF#way
BmOn a desert iF#sland all of hEer muAst stDayB  
[Verse 3]
EmWithout her throat, mAy head
DeDprived of its pillowE  A  
EmWould have no other bedA  
BesidDes the dirty floorE  A  
[Chorus]
DAbsolutely noF#thing should Bmbe thrown aF#way
BmOn a desert iF#sland all of hEer muAst stDayB  
[Verse 4]
EmWithout her solid carAriage
WhDat would happen, who EknowAs
EmIf I should lose my beaArings
And nDeed a hand to hold?E  A  
[Chorus]
DAbsolutely noF#thing should Bmbe thrown aF#way
BmOn a desert iF#sland all of hEer muAst stDayB

EmShe has a thousand otAher
MoDst precious attributEesA  
EmBut on the stage, I'd rAather
Not sDhow them all to youE  A

EmMust go somewhere else Afor
AnatoDmy classesE  A  
[Chorus]

AnDd also ticklish, quiEteA  
EmAnd one must take the lAot
Or leDave her all behindE  A

Em A

Without her flying tresses

I would have, heretofore

Had quite a hard time guessing

From which way the wind blows

[Chorus]

D F# Bm F#

Absolutely nothing should be thrown away

Bm F# E A D B

On a desert island all of her must stay

I wonder how I ever

Survived without her cheeks

Em A

That fed me two red apples

D E A

On each day of the week

[Chorus]

Absolutely nothing should be thrown away

Bm F# E A D B

Would have no other bed

Besides the dirty floor

Absolutely nothing should be thrown away

On a desert island all of her must stay

If I should lose my bearings

And need a hand to hold?

Absolutely nothing should be thrown away

Bm F# E A D B

On a desert island all of her must stay

But on the stage, I'd rather

Not show them all to you

Absolutely nothing should be thrown away

Bm F# E A D B

Must go somewhere else for

Anatomy classes

[Chorus]

Absolutely nothing should be thrown away

Bm F# E A D B

On a desert island all of her must stay

She'd never acquiesce

To be cut into parts

[Chorus]

Absolutely nothing should be thrown away

Bm F# E A D B

On a desert island all of her must stay

And one must take the lot

D E A

Or leave her all behind

Absolutely nothing should be thrown away

Bm F# E A D B

On a desert island all of her must stay
