While his mouth drooling like a leaky spout

Looking for something

from another day

Verse 4
D
Featherfoot walked right past
C
Tarbelly into the kitchen
D
Made and ate three sandwiches
Drank a pot of coffee
C
and a bottle of Absolut Vodka
D
Heard his toes and his
hair and his clothes
C
Made three phone calls and answered six,
all on her charge card
Verse 5
D
G
And all the while Tarbelly stood in the door
D
His eyes were bulging out
Hands high on his hips,
G
body like a statue
D
Mouth drooling like a leaky spout
G
Eyes bulging out, body like a statue
D
Drooling like a leaky spout
Verse 6
D
Now Featherfoot got to thinking
C
he'd like to go out
D
But Tarbelly stood there in the way
C
And he thought,
D
and he thought of a game he used to play
In his youth,
C
called "Swinging the Statue"
Verse 7
C
D
And he took Tarbelly by the wrists
C
And he carried her out into the yard
A
And round, and round,
and round he swung
And round, and round,
and round he swung
And round, and round he swung
D
And then he let her fly
Verse 8
D
G
Fly, fly, way up high
D
Over the hills she flew
G
And where she stopped, no one can say
D
You can't chase a shadow across a day
G
You can't chase a shadow across a day
D
You can't chase a shadow across a day
You can't get love without
G
giving it away
