I found these lyrics on Braggtopia.com, a Billy Bragg fan site, but again, I don't think this is exactly how Guthrie recorded it:


1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
Words & Music: Woody Guthrie

Chu chu chu chu chuka chuka chu chu,
Chuka chu chu chuka chu.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,
A, B, C, D, E, F, G.
Hoo doo, voo doo, 7, 21, 2,
Hay stacka, hoe stacka, Oklahoma,
High jacka, low jack, 99, 0,
Sidewalka, streetcar, dance a goofy dance.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,
A, B, C, D, E, F, G.
Blackbird, bluejay, 1, 2, 3, 4,
Trash, jump back, E, F, G.
Big man, little man, fat man, skinny man,
Grasshopper, green snake, hold my hand.

Mama cat, tom cat, diapers on the clothesline,
2, 4, 6, 8, run and hide.
Crazy man, lazy girl, pony on a tin can,
I'll be yours and you'll be mine.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,
A, B, C, D, E, F, G.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,
A, B, C, D, E, F, G.

[Recorded by Billy Bragg & the Blokes on "England, Half English" 2002, "Volume II" 2006, and on the various-artists compilation "Daddy O Daddy" 2001.]
