Nearly [F#m] lose my life at Spanish [C#] Town, through a [A] talking parrot that was [D] around.
At the married woman's home I stole [C#] a chance.
The man came while [F#m] we were [D] in romance, as he rushed in the house the girl rushed [Em] out,
and in the heat of [A] the excitement the parrot [Bm] shouted,
Hey Danny, [F#m] a man inside, [A] search well he gone [D] and hide, Danny, search all [Em] about,
for a [A] fellow when inside he ain't [D] come back out.
Well friends, it's now [A] excitement start, the girl rushed out to the parrot, [D] she said,
Pretty, what's wrong with [A] you?
The parrot shouted out, you know it's [D] true, and just as the husband smelled the [A] rat,
got smart by the words of the [D] parrot, who was inside me house [Em] yelling,
before she [A] answered the parrot shouted [D] out again,
Hey Danny, a man [A] inside, search well he [D] gone and hide, Danny, search [Em] all about,
for a [F#m] fellow when inside he [D] ain't come back out.
[A] [D]
[Em] [A] [D] So just imagine my [A] position, I don't know where to run in [D] Spanish Town,
so what I really had to [A] do instead, run and hide quite [D] below the bed,
deciding that when I [Bm] get a [C#] chance, I'll scramble [F#m] me shirt and [D] take me pants,
but as I scramble me clothes me [G] money fall, and in the higgling [A] and the jiggling the parrot [D] bawled,
Hey Danny, a man [F#m] inside, [A] search well he gone and [D] hide, Danny, [A] search all about,
for a fellow when inside he ain't [D] come back out.
[G] [F#m] [D]
[C#] [A] [D] So I decided to stay [A] no more, I made a great jump to the [D] window,
I fall on the ground just [C#] like a mouse, and with the [A] same speed underneath [D] the house,
under the house where water [A] heard, these words from the [D] parrot bird,
Danny, this is the second [G] time you come and [A] fight with your [D] wife behind the blind,
Hey Danny, a man [A] inside, search well [D] he gone and hide, Danny, search all [Em] about,
for a fellow [A] when inside he ain't [D] come back out.
