Verse 1:

Gm          D7
Sadie Cohen left her happy home
Gm           D7      Gm
To become an actress lady
G7               Cm
On the stage she soon became the rage
Gm          C7          F
As the only real Salomy  baby

F                                     F7
When she came to town, her sweetheart Mose
Bb
Brought for her around a pretty rose
C7            F
But he got an awful fright
C7             F
When his Sadie came to sight
Bb       G7     C           C7      F     F7
He stood up and yelled with all his might

Refrain:

F7
Don't do that dance, I tell you Sadie
Bb
That's not a bus'ness for a lady!
C7
’Most ev'rybody knows
That I'm your loving Mose
F
Oy, Oy, Oy, Oy
F7
Where is your clothes?

F7
You better go and get your dresses
Bb
Ev'ryone's got the op'ra glasses
C7
Oy! such a sad disgrace
No one looks in your face
F         F7      Bb  D
Sadie Sal ome, go home

Verse 2:

Gm             D7
From the crowd Moses yelled out loud,
Gm               D7        Gm
"Who put in your head such notions?
G7                 Cm
You look sweet but jiggle with your feet
Gm              C7              F
Who put in your back such funny motions?

F           F7
As a singer you was always fine!
Bb
Sing to me, 'Because the world is mine!'"
C7               F
Then the crowd began to roar
C7          F
Sadie did a new encore
Bb       G7      C         C7       F   F7
Mose got mad and yelled at her once more

Refrain:

F7
Don't do that dance, I tell you Sadie
Bb
That's not a bus'ness for a lady!
C7
"Most ev'rybody knows
That I'm your loving Mose
F
Oy, Oy, Oy, Oy
F7
Where is your clothes?

F7
You better go and get your dresses
Bb
Ev'ryone's got the op'ra glasses
C7
Oy! such a sad disgrace
No one looks in your face
F         F7      Bb  Bb
Sadie Sal ome, go home
