Verse 1
(D major) Old Deuteronomy's lived a long time.
(C minor) He's (D major) a cat who has lived
many lives (A major) in (A minor) succession.
He was (E minor) famous in proverb
(F sharp minor) and (G major) famous in (A major) rhyme.
A long while before Queen
Vic (D major) toria's accession.
Old Deuteronomy's buried
nine wives (C minor) and more,
(D major) I am tempted to say (A minor) ninety -nine,
And (E minor) his numerous pro (F sharp minor) geny
(G major) prospers and (A major) thrives,
And (F major) the village is proud (A major) of him
(D major) in his decline.
At the sight of that placid
and bland (D minor) physiognomy (A major)
(A minor) When (D major) he sits in the sun
on the vicar (A major) age wall
(A minor) The (B flat major) oldest inhabit (A flat major) ant croak (F major) s
Well, (A major) of (D major) all things
Can it be really?
(C minor) Yes, (D major) no, oh aye, oh my (A minor) aye
My (E minor) mind may (F sharp minor) be wandering
But (G major) I con (A major) fess I believe (F major) it (A major) is old Deutero
(D major) nomy. (C minor) (D major) (A minor)
(E minor) (F sharp minor) (G major) (A major) (F major) (A major) (D major)
Old Deuteronomy sits in the (C minor) street.
He (D major) sits in the high street
on (A minor) market day.
The (E minor) bullocks may (F sharp minor) bellow,
the (G major) sheep they may (A major) bleat,
but the (F major) dogs and the herds (A major) men
will (D major) turn them away.
The cars and the lorries
run over the curb
(C minor) And the (D major) villagers put up a no (A minor) tice,
road closed,
So that (E minor) nothing (F sharp minor) untoward may
(G major) chance to distur (A major) b
Deutero (F major) nomy's rest
(A major) when he feels (D major) so disposed.
The digestive repose
of that feline's (D minor) gastronomy
Must (D major) never be broken, whatever be (D minor) fall
And the (B flat major) oldest in (C major) habitant croak (F major) s
Well, (A major) of (D major) all things, can it be rarely
(C minor) Yes, (D major) no, oh, hi, oh, my, (A minor) I
My mind (E minor) may (F sharp minor) be wandering,
(G major) but I confess I (A major) (F major) believe it is
(A major) Old Deutero (D major) nomy (A major) (D major) (C minor)
(D major) Yes, no, oh, I, oh my,
(A minor) your (E minor) legs may be (F sharp minor) torturing,
you (G major) must go slow, (A major)
and be (F major) careful of (A major) old Deuter (F sharp minor) onomy. (D major) autonomy.
