[A] [C] Well, there once was a fella named Willard McBain.
He only had just one thought [G] on his brain.
[C] Every evening about midnight he'd [F] slip off along
and call the same lady on a pay [C] telephone.
[G] It's me again, Margaret.
[C] Hello, this is Margaret.
You [F] don't know me, Margaret.
But [C] I know you.
Well, this upset the lady, gave her the blues.
So she called the police and [G] said, what shall I do?
Well, [C] the chief of detectives came [F] around to her home.
He's dropped upon [G] them on her [C] upstairs phone.
[G] It's me again, Margaret.
[C] Hello, this is Margaret.
[F] I know it's you, Margaret.
Are [C] you naked?
Well, they called up a mall bell, traced him on down
to a funky old phone booth on the outskirts [G] of town.
It [C] was there that the vice squad with [F] their field glasses red,
[F] the lips of that amorous [C] man, as he said,
[G] It's me again, Margaret.
[C] Hello, this is Margaret.
[F] I know it's you, Margaret.
What, [C] every part like red, red, red?
Well, they cuffed him and dragged him to the station downtown.
And they allowed him one phone call before the jailer [G] came around.
[C] He wet his chapped lips, [F] cleared his young throat.
Then he dialed the [G] telephone.
[C] Softly, he spoke.

It's me again, [G] Margaret.
They got me, [C] Margaret.
You ain't gonna miss me, Margaret, [F] I know that.
[G] But I'll miss [Em] you.
[A#] And [B] when I get out, Margaret, I'm gonna come over here with a weed [G] eater
and a live chicken for you.
And some [C] cool whip.
