If Youre A Viper

Fats Waller


Tom: G

G               Em     Am7    D7
Dreamed about a reefer 5 feet long 
G          Em        Am7     D7
The Mighty Mezz, but not too strong 
G         G7       C       F9 or Cm
You'll be high but not for long 
G  D        G      D7
If you're a viper 

G        Em      Am7  D7
I am the king of everything 
G              Em      Am7   D7
I've got to be high before I swing 
G       G7      C      F9 or Cm
Light a tea and let it be 
G  D        G      D7
If you're a viper 

G7
When your throat gets dry, you know you're high 
C
Everything is dandy 
A7
Truck on down to the candy store 
D7
Bust your conk on peppermint candy 

G        Em        Am7    D7
Then you know your body's spent 
G         Em          Am7       D7
You don’t care if you don’t pay rent 
G          G7       C     F9 or Cm
The sky is high and so am I (aha!)
G  D        G      D7
If you're a viper
