[Verse 1]
           Gm                    C#dim7
Without my walking stick, I'd go insane
        D7                                       Gm
I can't look my best I feel undressed without my cane.
                                          C#dim7
Must have my walking stick, 'cause it may rain
        D7                                 Gm
When it pours can't be outdoors without my cane.

[Chorus]
     Cm
If I ever left my house, without my walking stick,
        Gm                  A                 D7
Well it would be something, I could never explain;
Gm                                          C#dim7
Oh the thing that makes me click, on lovers lane,
             D7                                 Gm
Would go for naught if I were caught without my cane.

[Scat Singing]
Gm                                D7
Be-bop-bop-de-la-dum; Be-bop-A-da-bum

Re-bop-be-ay; Rop-A-de-bop
                        Gm
Rump-A-de-dum; Ra-da-da-day
                                   D7
Re-bop-bop-la-da-dum; Re-bop-be-de-ay

Rop-A-de-bum; Rop-A-de-bum
                         Gm
Deet-de-de-day; Ra-da-da-dum

[Chorus]

If I ever left my house, without my walking stick,
        Gm                  A                 D7
Well it would be something, I could never explain;
Gm                                          C#dim7
Oh the thing that makes me click, on lovers lane,
             D7                                 Gm
Would go for naught if I were caught without my cane.
