 Light a candle, curse the glare

 Sorry that you feel  that way

 The only thing there is to say

The Ables and the Bakers and the C's

The deltas and the east   and the freeze.

   The ABC's   we all think of,
B7            E              F#
  Try to leave a little love.

 There's really nothing much to it
F#                              B          E
  Whistle through your teeth and spit cause it's alright

 Oh, well, a touch  of gray,
E                  A  E
