_ _ [D] _ One [C#] hippopotami cannot _ _ _ [F#] get on a bus
_ [C#] _
_ _ Because one [D#m] hippopotami [G#] _
[A] is two [D#m] _ hippopotamus
_ [G#] _
_ _ And [D] if you [C#] have two goose, _ _ that [G] makes one _ _ [C] geese

_ _ [D] meese
[G#] A _ _
_ _ [C#] paranoia is [D] [C#] a _ _ _ bunch of [A#] mental blocks _
[G#] _ _ _ [C#] And when Ben Casey [D#m] meets Kildare, [Fm] _ _ [F#] that's [G#m] called a paradox

_ [C#] When _ two canaries [D#m] make a pair, [Fm] _ [A] they call it [D#m] a parakeet
[G#] _ _ _ A _ [C#]

pair
[C] _ A _ _ [C#]

_ _ _ _ _ Nobody [C#] knows just what [D] [C#] a _ _ _ [D#]
