Never Join the Fire Brigade Brian Prothrow Album: I/You
===========================
Capo at 3rd fret to play with record. For timing, think "Vaudeville".
|<----Bar 1---->| |<---Bar 2--->|
Intro: Bb / F / C / F7 / Bb / C / F C F
|_|
Am E A
When I was young and having fun and climing every tree
Am D G (whistle)
I filled my head with Ice Cream and my heart with Sandra Dee
Am E A
And then one day while I's at play I heard my Daddy sigh
D G C
He chewed his pipe and kicked the cat and looked me in the eye - he
said:
Chorus:
F7 F7 Bb F7
Keep neat, stay clean, your harmony likes to be seen
F7 Fdim Bb C F
Go West, get laid, and never join the fire brigade
Bb C F
[play line 1 & 2 twice then] No no no, never join the Fire Brigade
[Intro]
Am E A
In '68 while meditating on the cosmic bond
Am D G
I met a mystic Guru who waved the Wonderous Wand
Am E A
I said "Oh Mighty Master, won't you tell me what you see?"
D G C
He stuck a tulip up his nose and said these words to me - he said:
[Chorus]
[Solo over chorus]
[Intro]
Am E A
So when you're glum and overcome and trouble's on your back
Am D G
When fate has pricked your bubble and your silver cloud turned black
Am E A
To bite your shoe or drink hot glue will never bring you glee
D G C (slow
arpegiate)
So just before you hit the floor, just say this after me:
[chorus several times]
Brian Prothrow is a British stage actor who made one delightful album of
funny, sing-along songs that reflect his vaudeville roots. A rare
treasure.
