[Verse]
Dm7                  G7            Cmaj7
You put the who's-it on the what's-it
C          Dm7       G7     C
Attach the what's-it to the who's-it
C7          F              F7     A7
Connect the thing-a-ma-jig to the thing-a-ma-bob
A   Dm7                                  G7
And that'll make the what-cha-ma-call it go

[Verse]
A7           Dm7    G7     Cmaj7
You hook the gidget to the gadget
C7         Dm7           G7         C
Adjust the gadget to the gidget
C7         F7                    C      A7
Unhook the dingely-dang from the diddly-doo
A7   Dm7                      G7      C
That seems to sorta settle the so-and-so

[Verse]
C        D7       C7      F
When the you know doesn't almost
F       Gm7   C7    Dm7
And the gizmo never quite,
F      Dm7    D7    G6            E7
Simply follow these instructions
E7            Am7  D7    G7
Everything'll come out alright

[Verse]
Dm7                  G7            Cmaj7
You put the who's-it on the what's-it
C          Dm7       G7     C
Attach the gidget to the gadget
C7          F         Bm7        G            A7
Connect the hick-a-ma-do  to the jig-a-ma-bob
A   Dm7                 G7               Em7 A7
And adjust them to the thing-a-ma so-and-so
A7   Dm7                     G7                  C
Then sit back and watch that what-cha-ma-call it go
