your domestic spouse
for the incubate
Because I've got a hunch
that our romance
Ab

has an 18 carat gold plate chance of hitting
Cm
Eb
In other words, gal,
we just ain't no match.
But if you think that I'm
gonna hang around
Ab
Eb
and take this business settin' down,
you're countin' your chickens
Bb
Eb
long before they're hatched.
Don't count your chickens
before they're hatched,
no, don't count your chickens
Ab
Eb
you will learn for very long
I bought you flowers and
I bought you booze,
but I balked when you wanted
doggone high for me now as it is.
So if you don't think that I'm
gonna sit and wait,
Ab
Eb
then just keep swingin' here on your gate,
cause you're countin' your chickens
Bb
Eb
long before they hatch, that is.
When I get sore, you laugh at me
Bb
Eb
a monkey anyway.
But you're gonna get dizzy
spinnin' around,
Ab

lookin' for some darn
B
Eb
fool to come around,
and lend you a helping hand
Bb

some of these days.

No, don't count your
chickens for their hat.
Bm
G
Eb
It's an old say ing that's
Cm
Eb
not to count your chickens for their hat.
I've got a pile of books on my shelf,
and they tell me all about myself,
Bb
Eb
about the planets way up in the blue.
Of atom bombs and navy guns
Ab
Eb
and how the world affairs are run,
Ab
Eb
Cm
don't try to cover it with no pile of sin,
down in a berry patch.
I'll kick your eyes so full of dirt,
and quit counting your
chickens for their hat.
Don't count your chickens for their hats,
no, don't count your chickens
Bb
Eb
for their hats.
It's an old saying that's never wrong,
you will learn for very long,
Bb
Eb
not to count your chickens for their hats.
