McGannahan Skjellyfetti
See that girl barefootin along Whistling and singing
F C G D
Hey, hey come right away. Come and join the party every day
D C6 G D
(Music stays same for 2nd verse)
Well, everybodys dancing to a ring around the sun
Nobody's finished, we aint even begun
So take off your shoes, child, take off your hat
Try on your wings and find out where it's at.
Chorus (Hey, Hey...)
Take a vacation, fall out for a while
Summers comin in and it's goin out a style.
Well, lie down smoking, honey have yourself a ball,
cause your mothers down in Memphis,
Won't be back till the fall.
Chorus (Hey, Hey...) repeated several times. Ending consists of
D to F7-9/Bflat.
