Politically incorrect warning: (c e g a g a g c b a (no pause) g a g a g c g e (no pause) c d c d c d e f e, low g, d, low g, c) G7 As some day it may happen that a victim must be found, C C° C (repeat) I've got a little list--I've got a little list Of society offenders who might well be underground, C C° D7 G And who never would be missed--who never would be missed! C Dm/F There's the pestilential nuisances who write for autographs-- C/G D7/A All people who have flabby hands and irritating laughs-- G C G C All children who are up in dates, and floor you with 'em flat-- E7 Am E7 Am All persons who in shaking hands, shake hands with you like that-- C°|Bbm And all third persons who on spoiling tete-a-tetes insist-- G° G D7 G They'd none of 'em be missed--they'd none of 'em be missed! 7 C/E G7 C He's got 'em on the list-- He's got 'em on the list; /E 7 F C G7 C And they'll none of 'em be missed--they'll none of 'em be missed. There's the nigger serenader, and the others of his race, And the piano-organist--I've got him on the list! And the people who eat peppermint and puff it in your face, They never would be missed--they never would be missed! Then the idiot who praises, with enthusiastic tone, All centuries but this, and every country but his own; And the lady from the provinces, who dresses like a guy, And who "doesn't think she waltzes, but would rather like to try"; And that singular anomaly, the lady novelist-- I don't think she'd be missed--I'm sure she'd not he missed! CHORUS. He's got her on the list-- he's got her on the list; And I don't think she'll be missed-- I'm sure she'll not be missed! And that Nisi Prius nuisance, who just now is rather rife, The Judicial humorist--I've got him on the list! All funny fellows, comic men, and clowns of private life-- They'd none of 'em be missed--they'd none of 'em be missed. And apologetic statesmen of a compromising kind, Such as--What d'ye call him--Thing'em-bob, and likewise--Never-mind, And 'St--'st--'st--and What's-his-name, and also You-know-who-- The task of filling up the blanks I'd rather leave to you. But it really doesn't matter whom you put upon the list, For they'd none of 'em be missed-- they'd none of 'em be missed! You may put 'em on the list--you may put 'em on the list; And they'll none of 'em be missed--they'll none of 'em be missed! (All same speed: (C°) high g f# f e d c b d lowg b c) [Ko-Ko's aria from The Mikado]
