Verse 6
(C major) Way back a long time (G major) ago
When the uni (F major) verse consisted (G major) of nothing (C major) more elaborate
than Mark Volman (thank you, Frank)
(G major) Trying to convince each and every member this
extremely (C major) hip audience here tonight
That he was nothing more,
(G major) nothing less
Than a fat (C major) maroon (G major) sofa
Sus (C major) pended in the midst
of a great emptiness
A (G major) light shined down (F major) from heaven (G major)
(C major)
Verse 7
(G major) And there he was,
ladies and gentle (F major) men
(G major) The good Lord (C major)
And he took a,
he took a look at the sofa (G major)
And he said (F major) to himself,
(G major) quite an attractive so (C major) fa
This sofa could be (G major) commercia (thank you, Frank,
how are you (C major) Frank?)
With a few more margaritas and
the right company
(G major)
Verse 8
(F major)
(G major) However, I di (C major) gress
"What this sofa need (G major) s",
said the big G (C major)
"Is a bit of flooring underneath of it"
And so, (G major) in order to make this
(C major) Construction project possible
He (G major) summoned the assistance
of the celestial core of engineers
(C major)
Verse 9
And, (G major) by means of a (F major) cute little song (G major)
in the German lan (C major) guage
Which is the way he talks whenever
it's heavy business (G major) (F major)
(G major) The good Lord (C major) went
something like this
(G major) Take it away, Jim Pons
Verse 10
(C major)
Gib zu (G major) mir (C major) et (G major) was (C major) fussbodenbelag
Unter (G major) diesen (F major) (G major) fetten fliessenden sofa
(C major) (everybody)
Gib zu (G major) mir (F major) et (G major) was (C major) fussbodenbelag
Unter (G major) diesen fetten fliessenden sofa (C major)
Verse 11
(C major) And of course ladies and gentlemen,
(G major) that means
Give unto me (F major) a bit of floor (G major) ing under
this fat (C major) floating sofa
And sure enough (G major) boards of oak appeared (F major) throughout
(G major) the emptiness as (C major) far as vision permits
Stretching all the way (G major) from
Belfast to (F major) Bogn (G major) er Regis (C major)
And the Lord put aside his huge (G major) cigar
And proceeded (C major) to deliver unto
the charm (C major) ing (G major) maroonish sofa
The bulk (G major) (C major) of his message
With the assistance of a small (G major) electric clarinet,
and it went something like this
