Verse 1
Bb 
D 
One  (B flat major) day  (D major) I
started out upon the seven seas
Pretty soon I wound up in
the West Indies
Gm 
An  (G minor) island girl she happened
D 
to be  (D major) there on hand
Gm 
A 
 (G minor) To  (A major) greet me as I landed
D 
on  (D major) the tropical sand
A 
D 
 (A major) I  felt  (D major) that I would melt
into a woman's grace
So taken up was I with all
her selfish grace
Gm 
But  (G minor) Jasmine Heaven
seems to be so very near
A 
She  (A major) takes me by the arm
D 
A 
D 
A 
and  (D major) whispers in  (A major)  (D major) my  (A major) ear
D 
Gumby,  (D major) Gumby,
rockin' to the Gumby

Rock  (D major)  (G minor) 
A 
D 
 (A major)  (D major) 
Although I didn't understand
just what she meant
When I heard that rockin' tempo,
I was really set
Gm 
It  (G minor) didn't take me long to
get hip to that beat
A 
As  (A major) I watched the moment
D 
of her  (D major) dancin' feet
A 
D 
 (A major) This  (D major) had been calypso,
I'd have been prepared
But now this rockin' rhythm
really had me scared
Gm 
My  (G minor) span began to tingle
from my head to my toe
A 
And  (A major) then my native girl she shouted,
D 
go, man,  (D major) go
A 
D 
 (A major) Gumby,  (D major) Gumby,
rockin' to the Gumby
