Liner Notes

Based on one of my favourite ever puns made by the much missed Jeremy Hardy on Radio 4's News Quiz a few years ago. #sorrynotsorry, and surely this is what the #ukulele is for anyway... #fuc

I, um, have a couple more of these to come. Apologies in advance. Not that I do longer sets that often, but I quite like the idea of breaking them up with nonsense like this :).

Lyrics

(Uke is tuned down a tone. Capo -2.)

[F][C][Dm]
[Bb][C][C7]

I [F]thought I'd have a [C]day out in the [Dm]zoo
I [Bb]didn't have a better thing to [C]do[C7]
I [F]wandered round en[C]closures and the [Dm]cages
I [Bb]wandered round for ages and [C]ages[C7]

But there was [F]not a single [C]animal in [Dm]sight
What's the [Bb]problem, is everything al[C]right?[C7]
But e[F]ventually I [C]came upon a [Dm]creature
The [Bb]only one that they had thought to [C]fea[C7]ture

[Bb][F]
[Dm][C]

So, the [F]animal I [C]stumbled on at [Dm]last
Was it a [Bb]lion or a tiger or gir[C]affe?[C7]
No, the [F]animal they [C]thought they would [Dm]commit to
Was a [Bb]tiny dog. That's [C]right it [C7]was a [F]Shih Tzu.
