They Might Be Giants

I've been leaving on my things

So, in the morning when the morning bird sings

There's still dinner on my dinner jacket till the dinner bell rings.

Bb F E Bm G D

Experimental dog, salivating dog, good dog!

Am Em Am Dm Am E Am

Waiting for the dinner bell, dinner bell, dinner bell, ring!

I've been leaving on my things.

So, in the morning when the morning bird sings

There's still dinner on my dinner jacket till the dinner bell rings.

I don't want a pizza - I don't want a piece of peanut brittle - I don't want a pear.

I don't want a bagel - I don't want a bean - I wouldn't like a bag of beef or a beer.

Or a cup of chowder corn cake or creamed cauliflower.

'Cause I'm waiting for the dinner bell to do the bell thing

Dinner bell, dinner bell, ring!

Em F#m G A D Em F G

Shoulder, bicep, elbow, arm, forearm, thumb, wrist, knuckle, palm,

C D Esus4 E Am E Am

Middle, pinky, index, ring, Dinner bell, dinner bell, ring!

I don't know whether I'd rather be having a bottle of vinegar,

I don't know whether I'd rather be having an egg,

I don't know whether I'd rather be having an order of bacon,

Or whether I'd rather be having a basket of garlic bread,

I don't know whether I'd rather be having some pie, or saving my appetite

'Cause I'm waiting for the dinner bell to do the bell thing,

Dinner bell, dinner bell, ring!
