Alexander Beetle
D G C G
i had a little beetle, so that beetle was his name
C G D
and i called him Alexander and he answered just the same
G D G C G
and i put him in a matchbox and i kept him all the day
C G D G
but nanny let my beetle out and beetle ran away
D G C G
she said she didn't mean it and i never said she did
C G D
she said she wanted matches and she just took off the lid
G C G
she said i mustn't worry and i really mustn't mind
C G D
that there's lots and lots of beetles thats she's certain we could find
G C G
said if we looked in all the places that a beetle might be near
C G D
and we made the kind of noises that a beetle likes to hear
G D G C G
then i heard a kind of something and i gave a sort of shout
D G
it was a beetle house and Alexander beetle coming out
C G
it was Alexander beetle i'm as certain as can be
C G D
and he had that kind of look as though he thought it might be me
G D G C G
and he had that kind of look as though he thought he ought to say
C G D
"i'm really very sorry that i tried to run away"
G D G C G
and nanny's very sorry too cause you know what she did
C G D G
and she's writing Alexander very blackly on the lid
D G C G
so nan and me are friends because it's difficult to catch
C G D G D G C G
an excited Alexander you've mistaken for a match
One of the greatest singer/song-writers and the cutest song ever,
play this song to your little ones, they'll love it.
This is a rhythym version only. But if you can finger-pick like her
you should be able to make the most of this.
