By (G major) humans of a second look
Who (D major) couldn't even (E minor) write their
names (D major) shame (G major) (D major)
Trader said they're not as good
As (A major) folks who wear velvet robes (F sharp minor)
Wrote (G major) home again and asked,
"Please help
Their (D major) breasts I (E minor) see; they're
(D major) not like me (G major)
Banish (A major) them from our prair (D major)
ies (G major) and our (E minor) hillsides
(D major) (A major) Clear them from (D major) our mountains
(G major) and our (E minor) sea side
(D major) I (A major) want them off (D major) our lakes (G major) so please reply (E minor)
(D major) Signed (A major) sincerely."
(D major) (G major)
