Loudon plays this on the banjo & picks out the melody. I've tried to do the same with the guitar. This is repeated throughout the whole song.

D Dsus4  D      

Dump the dog & feed the garbage

A                          D

Mow the floor & sweep the lawn

D Dsus4  D

Salt & pepper on my porridge

A                        D

Some day I'll be dead & gone

Oh my good girl loves me madly & my bad girl is a flirt

I'll take the good with the bad gladly

And I'll treat them both like dirt

Bread & butter for my breakfast, peanut butter for my lunch

Apple butter for my dinner

Marjorine for Sunday brunch

Baseball's fine Football's rougher basketballers are all tall

But I like hockey, hockey's tougher

You must play without a ball

It's too much bother & too much trouble, I have stood all I can stand

I'm a son & I'm a father

I am just a middle man

When I wake up in the morning I hop up right out of bed

Unless of course I am hung over

Then I pretend that I am dead

Repeat Verse 1
