Punctuate Your P's
Al Simmons/Ken Whiteley
 
F                 C7   C#7        D7
I always punctuate my P's
  Gm7          C7     Am7    D7
I puff and pop perpetually,
Gm7          C7     Am7    D7
Puckered up so properly.
Bb        Bdim   F/c    D7
Pardon my pomposity
               Gm7     C7         F
While I punctuate my P's
 
F                C7      C#7      D7
Politely protest if you please.
          Gm7      C7      Am7      D7
Pitch papaya pits at my knees.
Gm7         C7           Am7      D7
Pressure me and plead
        Bb      Bdim   F/c    D7
But I'll persist, I will proceed
      Gm7   C7           F           E7    
To punctuate my P's
 
Eb7 Dm                                    Bb
Implore the Prince of Poompanees
Dm                                 Bb7      A7
To pay printers their proper fees
Gm7       C7 F   Dm  Gm  C7      F
To print on paper precisely
Bb F      Bb           A7      Bb
A proclamation that decrees
Bb                Bdim        G7   C7
"People! Punctuate your P's!"
 
(F C7 C#7 D7 ETC.) X 2
The principal purpose of my purportedly preposterous preaching is to
promote impeccably proper "P" pronunciation, and in the process I predict
that a population of proud "P" punctuators will
produce a permanent planetary peace. For proof: peruse the profound
possibilities. Would this political pundit pontificate pointlessly? I
implore you please propel your P's.
 
 
 
F                         C7 C#7 D7
Increase your popularity
     Gm7        C7               Am7       D7
Prepare to purse your lips like me
          Gm7      C7    Am7           D7
And pepper paragraphs with P's
     Bb      Bdim      F/c      D7
Depart upon a puffing spree
          Gm7 C7              F      E7     
And punctuate your P's
 
Eb7 Dm                          Bb
Procure a pack of chimpanzees
      Dm                  Bb7      A7
To poise atop a pink trapeze
Gm7           C7 F Dm Gm C7  F
And paint a pile of purple P's
Bb   F           Bb      A7 Bb
Proclaiming to humanity
Bb                     Bdim   G7   C7
"People! Punctuate your P's!"
 
F                 C7   C#7        D7
I always punctuate my P's
  Gm7          C7     Am7    D7
I puff and pop perpetually,
Gm7          C7     Am7    D7
Puckered up so properly.
Bb        Bdim   F/c    D7
Pardon my pomposity
      Bb      Bdim             F/c D7
While I pronounce it publicly
      Bb      Bdim        F/c    D7
That P propulsion is the key
       Bb           Bdim   F/c D7
To personal popularity
 
          Gm7    C7
So I punctuate,
                        Gm7     C7
That's why I punctuate,
                  Gm7   C7         F
I always punctuate my P's!
