Fb6 B7Uncle Goodenberg was a bookworm
F6 Bb9And he lived on Charring Cross
Fb6 Fbmaj7/G Bdim7 Bbm7 Bb9The memory of his volumes brings a smile
Bbm9 Bb9He would read me lots of stories
Fb7 Bb7 Cb7When he wasn't on the sauce
Bb7Now I'd like to share the wisdom
Bb7 Cbm7 Cdim7 Bm7b5Of my favourite bibliophile
Bb7 Bbm9 Bb9He said a

BOnce upon a time
B7In a nursery rhyme
F9There was a castle with a king
Hiding in a wing
F9'Cause he never went to school to learn a single thing
F9He had scepters and swords
F9#5And a parliament of lords
B6But on the inside he was sad
Egad!
Baug G6Because he never had a wisdom for numbers
Bb7/FbA wisdom for words
B/F Cb9Though his crown was quite immense
B7His brain was smaller that a bird's
Bm F Fb9So the queen of the nation
F9Made a royal proclamation
F Bdim/F"To the Missus and the Messers
Fdim7 FThe more or lessers
BBring me all the land's professors"
Then she went to the hair dressers
F7# BAnd they came from the east
B7And they came from the south
F9 Cdim/GFrom each college they poured knowledge
F9From their brains into his mouth
CdimBut the king couldn't learn
B7So each professor met their fate
Cm7b5 B7For the queen had their heads removed
Bm B7And placed upon the gate
And on that date
B9I state their wives all got a note
Their mate was now the late great
Baug G6But then suddenly one day
BbA stranger started in to sing
B/F B7He said "I'm the dirty rascal
B7And I'm here to teach the king"
F9And the queen clutched her jewels
F7For she hated royal fools
F9 F7But this fool had some rules
B B7They really ought to teach in schools
Fb6 Cb7Like you'll be a happy king
Bb9 Fb6/G Fbm(maj7)If you enjoy the things you've got
Fm7b5 Bm7b5 G7You should never try to be
Cbm Fb9The kind of person that you're not
Fb6So they sang and they laughed
Fdim7For the king had found a friend
Fb/Bb C7b5And they ran onto a rainbow for
CbThe story's perfect end
Bbm7 Bdim7So the moral is you mustn't let
Fb/G Cb7The outside be the guide
C7b5 Cb7For it's not so cut and dried
Well unless it's Dr. Jekyll
Cb7Then you better hide
C/B CbPetrified
Bbm7No, the truth can't be denied
Bb Cbm B7As I now have testified
Bb B9All that really counts and matters
Bb5 Bb7 FbIs the special stuff inside
"He did it!"

[Chorus]
G9 Cb6 Bb9Oh, a cover is not the book
F7#5 B7So open it up and take a look
G7Cause under the cover one discovers
Cb6That the king maybe a crook
Bb6 Bdim7So please listen to what we've said
Cb/G Fm7b5/Bb F7And open a book tonight in bed
Bm7 F7 Fm B9So one more time before we get the hook (sing it out strong!)
Gm9 Cb/G Gaug
