Now Billy Joe McGuffrey was a really clumsy kid 
       D                              G 

On the first day of first grade, I'll tell you what he did 
G                            C 

He tripped over a pencil box, flew up in the air 
D                                           G

Landed on a kangaroo who pulled out all his hair 

          G                C 

He needed first aid in the first grade 
D                G 

First aid in the first grade 
G                C 

First aid in the first grade 
D                                                G

You could buy a zoo with all the doctor bills he paid
