[G] [C] [A] [D]
[G] [A] Spring is here, [D] a-suffering [G] is here, [C] life [A] is skittles [D] and life is beer.
I think [G] the loveliest time of the [C] year is the spring.
I [A] do, [D] don't you?
[G] Course you do.
But there's [Dm] one [C] thing that makes spring complete for me,
[D] and makes every Sunday [G] a treat for me.
All the [C] world seems in [C] tune on a spring afternoon,
when we're poisoning pigeons [Dm] in the park.
Every Sunday you'll see my [G] sweetheart and me,
as we poison the pigeons [F] in the park.
[Fm] When they see us coming, the birdies all try and hide,
[D] but they still go for peanuts [G] when coated with cyanide.
[C] The sun's shining bright, everything seems alright,
when [D] we're poisoning pigeons [C] in the park.
[D] [G]
[A] [G] [Dm] We've gained [G] notoriety [B] and caused much [Am] anxiety
[Dm] in the Audubon [C]
Society with our games.
[D] They call it [C#] impiety and lack of [Bm] propriety
and [C#] quite a variety of [D] unpleasant names.
But it's not against any [G] religion
to [D] want to dispose [Dm] of a [G] pigeon.
So [C] if Sunday you're free, why don't you come with me
and we'll poison the pigeons [G] in the park.
And maybe we'll [Dm] do in a squirrel [G] or two
while we're poisoning [C] pigeons in the park.
[Gm]
[Fm] We'll murder them all amid [C] laughter and merriment,
[D] except for the few we [G] take home to [Em] experiment.
[G] My [C] pulse will be quickening with each drop of strickenen
[D] we feed to a pigeon.
It just takes a smidgen to poison a pigeon in [C] the park.
