The Chivalrous Shark

	  		Verse: 1 

         G                      D7 
The most chivalrous fish of the ocean 
                          G 
To ladies forebearing and mild 
           C 
Though his record be dark 
       G 
Is the man-eating shark 
         D7                     G 
Who will eat neither woman nor child. 


Verse: 2
 
          G               D7 
He dines upon seamen and skippers, 
                        G 
And tourists his hunger assuage, 
            C 
And a fresh cabin boy 
       G 
Will inspire him with joy 
        D7                G 
If he's past the maturity age. 


Verse: 3 

     G                   D7 
A doctor, a lawyer, a preacher, 
                      G 
He'll gobble one any fine day 
                    C 
But the ladies, God bless 'em, 
        G 
He'll only address 'em 
  D7                   G 
Politely and go on his way. 


Verse: 4 

      G                      D7 
I can readily cite you an instance 
                          G 
Where a lovely young lady of Breem, 
                   C 
Who was tender and sweet 
      G 
And delicious to eat, 
     D7                   G 
Fell into the bay with a scream. 


Verse: 5
 
     G                            D7 
She struggled and flounced in the water 
                         G 
And signaled in vain for her bark, 
                      C 
And she'd surely been drowned 
        G 
If she hadn't been found 
     D7                     G 
By a chivalrous man-eating shark. 


Verse: 6 

    G                     D7 
He bowed in a manner most polished, 
                    G 
Thus soothing her impulses wild; 
                         C 
Don't be frightened," he said, 
           G 
"I've been properly bred 
         D7                     G 
And will eat neither woman nor child." 


Verse: 7 

        G                         D7 
Then he proffered his fin and she took it— 
                          G 
Such a gallantry none can dispute— 
                     C 
While the passengers cheered as the 
       G 
Vessel they neared 
      D7                     G 
And a broadside was fired in salute. 


Verse: 8 

         G                   D7 
And they stood alongside the vessel, 
                          G 
When a life-saving dinghy was lowered 
                     C 
With the pick of the crew, 
        G 
And her relatives, too 
        D7                    G 
And the mate and the skipper aboard. 


Verse: 9
 
        G                    D7 
So they took her aboard in a jiffy, 
                                     G 
And the shark stood at attention the while, 
                      C 
Then he raised on his flipper 
    G 
And ate up the skipper 
    D7                     G 
And went on his way with a smile. 


Verse: 10 

         G                            D7 
And this shows that the prince of the ocean, 
                          G 
To ladies forebearing and mild, 
           C 
Though his record be dark, 
         G 
He's the man-eating shark 
         D7                     G 
Who will eat neither woman nor child.
