When Adam won Eve's hand
   Cm7      F7        Bb
He wouldn't stand for teasin'
          G7
He didn't care about those apples
       C     C7
Out of season

              F                     C+
They say that spring means just one thing
          F         D7
To little love birds

We're not a bove birds

              F       D7
My poor heart aches on

Why keep the brakes on
            F   CdimGm7
Let's misbe have

While we're still active
           C   BC7
Let's misbehave

            F7
You know my heart is true
    Cm7     F7      Bb
And you say you for me care
           G7
Somebody's sure to tell
                     C      C7
But what the heck do we care

              F                  C+
They say that bears have love af fairs
         F     D7
And even camels
             G7      C7
We're merely mammals

I always squeeze my Pekinese

Whenever she's good
          G7          C7
Your pedi gree's good
           F   D7
Let's misbehave

          G7         C7
Your pedi gree's good
