GUEST,Martunes Chord Req: Everything Is Hotsy Totsy Now (3) Chord Req: Everything Is Hotsy Totsy Now 14 Jan 12


Hi all,
Happy New Year.

I know this is not quite a folk/blues issue but i'm at my wits end. (which isn't too far a trip lately).
I have been searching for chords for Captain Matchbox & His Whooppee Band's version of 'Everything Is Hotsy Totsy Now' for years. I've tracked down a barely legible copy of the sheet music at the public library but it comes with unmarked uke chords and there seem to be some I can't identify. I've managed to get only so far with the transcription but it doesn't sound right to my ear. Can someone either point me to a transcription of Captain Matchbox's version or help me with the one below. Thanks. M

Take a look at me. I'm busy as a bee.
I got a lot to do, do, doodly do.
I'm gonna build a home, a cozy little home,
Just room enough for two, two, toodly two.
There's ... add a limb on the family tree.
I've found a girl as sweet as she could be.
So everything is jake. What a lucky break!
I'm in for some sweet time...

[G7]got myself a [C]brand new hotsy.
[?]I'm her totsy. [G]She's my hotsy.
[G]Everything is [D7]hotsy-totsy now. [G]

[G7]What I did was [C]pop the question.

[G]Everything is [D7]hotsy-totsy now. [G]

[B7]No more cryin'. [B7]No more sighin'.

[A7]Does she love me, [A7]turtledove me?
[A7]I'll tell the world she do, [D7]

Instrumental

Ever since I fell I'm on a carousel
I'm dizzy as can be, be badly be
Walking on the air, but I don't give a care
The way they're kidding me, me medley me
They would do the same for a girl like mine
So I can't be blamed for feeling fine
The minute that we met, everything was set
I'm in for some sweet time.

I've [G7]got myself a [C]brand new hotsy.
