E                     B                  EOne fine day as I was a-walkin' down the street..
E                                     Bspied a beggar man with rags upon his feet.
       E                            ATook a penny from my pocket..in his tin cup I did drop it..
      E                B           Eand I heard him say as I made my retreat..

CHORUS:
EMay the bird of paradise fly up your nose.
                                    BMay an elephant caress you with his toes.
         E                                   AMay your wife be plagued with runners in her hose.
        E           B                EMay the bird of paradise fly up your nose.
