Cannibals

	  		
Intro: E A E - A B E (x2)  
  
     E   
Well he's daddy's little boy, he plays with his toys  
                             A   
He holds on to his daddy's hand  
 B   
His daddy says sonny you're a big strong boy,   
                              E   
You're gonna be a big strong man   
   
And they go play catch, go play ball   
                           A   
Go take a walk along the sand   
  B   
Big strong daddy and a big strong boy   
                         E   
Living in a big strong land   

 E                             
Daddy, is he a goodie or a baddie   
                       A  
daddy can I have a dinosaur   
 E   
Once upon a time there were cannibals  
                 B             A                   E  
now there are no cannibals anymore  


solo * * *   


 E  
Down in Louisiana theres a hurricane coming  
                             A  
The little boy climbs the stairs  
 B  
And all along the levee all the people come running  
                                  E  
And the little boys saying his prayers  

And a sleepy little laddie smiles up at his daddy  
                              A  
And he's asking for his G.I. Joe  
 B  
And daddy tucks him in with a kiss upon the chin  
                                  E  
And says my little one I love you so  

 E                                                          
Daddy, is he a goodie or a baddie  
                            A  
Leave a light outside the door  
 E   
Once upon a time there were cannibals  
                 B           A                   E  
now there are no cannibals anymore  


SOLO  * * *    

 E  
Lay down your head now dont get out of bed  
                          A  
Dont you let the bedbugs bite  
  B  
It's time to go to sleep now not another peep  
                                 E  
And Ill see you in the morning light  

And then the radio was playing and the weatherman was saying  
                         A  
The hurricane had blown away  
  B  
And daddys little boy was jumping up for joy  
                                    E  
And he was singing at the break of day  

E                                                          
Daddy, is he a goodie or a baddie  
                    A  
Daddy can I be a warrior  
 E   
Once upon a time there were cannibals  
                 B             A                 E  
now there are no cannibals anymore  

E                                                          
Daddy, is he a goodie or a baddie  
                           A  
Daddy why do people go to war  
 E   
Once upon a time there were cannibals  
                 B             A                E  
now there are no cannibals anymore
