Verse: 
E7 
Put it in the bucket if the bucket's there, 
Dadd9/F# 
Throw it in the alley, honey, I don't care, 
Bm11                                           E7 
Stay beneath the covers in your underwear and throw down. 

Put it in the mail, sail it on the sea, 
Dress it up and send it to the jubilee 
I got a woman down in Missouri, I'm gonna go down. 

Take it to the forest and give it a toss, 
Down in the gully, honey, over in the moss, 
Without you, babe, I'm a total loss and a loser. 

Send me an E, call me on the phone, 
Please don't leave me here all alone, 
Morning comes like the twilight zone, I can't use her. 


 A 
Ain't it a big one, ain't it tall, 
 G#m 
Looks about as high as a prison wall, 
G                             E7 
Up we climb and down we fall together. 

Over and over and into the blue 
We say we are but we're never through. 
I've got a big bad thing for you forever. 


Verse: 
Call it impossible, call it a crime, 
Not kissing you is a waste of time, 
It doesn't scan and it doesn't rhyme without you. 

Call it a picnic, take it to the park, 
Meet me at the willow along about dark, 
The only song I sing like a meadowlark is about you. 

Fry it up, choke it down, save me some, 
I'm so happy I must be dumb, 
A sparrow at your shoes pecking at the crumbs you're leaving. 

How do we end what we should begin, 
I don't even know what town we're in, 
Please, God, say that it isn't a sin I'm grieving. 


Chorus:
