    VERSE II (Same Chords)
     
  • All a-drifting, he's the nogood boyo
    Sent a-fishing for a whalebone corset frame
    (The only catch all day)
  •  
    So he sits and lets the current take him
    A gentle breeze will leave his pants in disarray
  • And at his ankles laid.
     
    As he drifts to sleep with a moan and a weep
  • He is decked by a Japanese geisha with a garland of pearls
    How she twists and twirls!
     
  • CHORUS (Same Chords and Words) *ADD
    D F#m Em G
    'Til the radio plays something familiar
  • A
    Plays something familiar
    Em
  • Plays something familiar
    A
    Plays something familiar
