    Miss Betsy,  shall I    climb up your chimeney?
G         Cadd9           Dsus4/F#
Brush the soot out of the flue?
         G         Cadd9     G          Cadd9
I don't   have any homework,     not in school
       G            Cadd9           D      G5
You've got a little daylight coming through
 
[Verse 2]
G        Cadd9              G             Cadd9
Miss Betsy, can I work in your factory?
G         Cadd9           Dsus4/F#
Stitch the leather shoes you wear
         G         Cadd9     G          Cadd9
I don't have your kind of money, pull your kind of strings
       G            Cadd9           D      G5
but the cabinet is bare
 
[Chorus]
            Cadd9           Dsus4/F#   Cadd9           Em7
And there's little time for mischief,  Little time for games
Cadd9           G              Dsus4/F#
Little time for pennies on the tracks
Cadd9           Dsus4/F#     Cadd9           Em7
Little time for drawing      pictures on the board
Cadd9           G           D     G5
Little time for mischief anymore
 
[Interlude]
G  Cadd9   G     Cadd9
Oohoooo

    Miss Betsy, I can wiggle in a hole
   G              Cadd9           Dsus4/F#
in places where a man can not get by
G             Cadd9            G             Cadd9
Santa says be good or else you get a lump of cole
     G                Cadd9           D      G5
I'll bring you back a handfull if you like
 
 
[Chorus]
            Cadd9           Dsus4/F#   Cadd9           Em7
And there's little time for mischief,  Little time for games
Cadd9           G              Dsus4/F#
Little time for pennies on the tracks
Cadd9           Dsus4/F#     Cadd9           Em7
Little time for drawing      pictures on the board
Cadd9           G           D      G5
Little time for mischief anymore

    Rode a camel is it true?
   G                    Cadd9           G             Cadd9
My friends say you're a princess,  it's why you never worked

When I grow up, I wanna be like you

Little time for pennies on the tracks

Little time for drawing      pictures on the board

Little time for mischief anymore

Only so many hours in a day
