Ab 
Hey everybody, did the news get around 
        Ab 
About a guy named Butcher Pete 
    Db 
Oh, Pete just flew into this town 
         Ab 
And he's choppin' up all the women's meat 


         Db 
He keeps hackin' and whackin' and smackin' 
         Ab 
He keeps hackin' and whackin' and smackin' 
         Bb7 
He keeps hackin' and whackin' and smackin' 
        Db 
He just hacks, whacks, choppin' that meat 

Ab 
Butcher Pete's got a long sharp knife 
   Ab 
He starts choppin' and don't know when to stop 
Db 
All you fellas gotta watch your wives 
       Ab 
'Cause Pete don't care whose meat he chops 

Chorus 

Solo Ab  Db  Ab  Eb  Ab  

Ab 
Ever since Pete flew into town 
Ab 
He's been havin' a ball 
Db 
Just cuttin' and choppin' for miles around 
Ab 
Single women, married women, old maids and all 

Chorus 

Ab 
Wakes up in the morning, half past five 
Ab 
Chops from sunrise to sunset 
Db 
I don't see how he stays alive 
Ab 
Meat's gonna be the death of ole Pete yet 

Chorus 

Solo Ab  Db  Ab  Eb  Ab 

Ab 
The poe-lice put Pete in jail 
Ab 
Yes, he finally met his fate 
    Db 
But when they came to pay his bail 
Ab 
They found him choppin' on his cell mate 

Chorus 

     Ab 
That Butcher Pete is a crazy man 
Db 
Tries to chop down the wind and the rain 
Ab 
Just hacks on anything he can get 
Ab 
Say, turn this record over, you ain't heard nothin' yet
