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!
