Dm 
Well, I was on a cruise ship out at sea, my fiancée and me 
              Gm              Dm 
The ship went down, everybody drowned 
    A                   A7                 Dm 
And I was just glad the sea didn't swallow me 
      Dm 
Well, I was in distress, 'cause my hair was such a mess 
          Gm             Dm 
And so I washed up on a beach 
     A                 A7             Dm 
Nine hungry eyes were staring down at me. 

           Dm        Bb              Dm 
I'm in the middle of the Cannibal Buffet 
            A                       Dm 
I'm feeling well; they like me that way 
                         Gm                 Dm 
See, if you really wanna know what's eatin' me 
         A                A7             Dm 
It's the man-eaters on the coast of Barbary 

                 Dm 
Oh, trouble was afoot - they were eatin' mine 
Toein' the party line, 
                  Gm                    Dm 
I was startin' to feel, "these guys are heels" 
        A                      A7                Dm 
But, the truth be told, these cannibals have got sole 
      Dm 
Hey, numbskull, look at me, I got a bone to pick with thee 
              Gm                Dm 
You ain't humerus, stop ribbin' me 
 A                A7                 Dm 
Have a spine, bone up on settin' me free 

(Chorus) 

Bb      Dm        Bb       Dm 
Missionaries came to this place 
     Bb           Dm 
They taught us manners 
       A          A7         Dm 
Now we cannibals always say grace... 
(Thank you Good Lord for this weiner we're about to eat, and the 
sweet buns we're gonna stick it in) 
AND THEN WE EAT YOUR FACE!!
