[Verse 1] 

   C       A7        D7       G7
Spring is here, a s-spring is here
  C        A7          D7      G7
Life is skittles, and life is beer
Dm             G7       C           G7           C
I think the loveliest time of the year is the spring
   A7       D7                 G7
I do! Don't you? Of course you do!
            Dm              G7              C
But there's one thing that makes spring complete for me
     D7                    G          G7
And makes every Sunday a treat for me!


[Chorus 1]

          C                       Cmaj7
All the world seems in tune, on a spring afternoon
         C7                        G7
When were poisoning pigeons in the park
        Dm           
Every Sunday you'll see, my sweetheart and me
        G7                       C
As we poison the pigeons in the park!


[Post-chorus 1]

     F                         C
When they see us coming, the birdies all try and hide
          D7                        G7
But they still go for peanuts when coated with cy-an-ide
     C                     Cmaj7               C7
The sun's shining bright, everything seems all right,
             G7                     C
When were poisoning pigeons in the park!


[Verse 2]

      G7                    C7
We've gained notoriety, and caused much anxiety
       G7               C7
In the audubon society, with our games
    A7                    D7
They call it impiety, and lack of propriety
    A7                                D
And quite a variety of...unpleasant names
        D7                  G        D7                    G7
But its not against any religion, to want to dispose of a pigeon!


[Chorus 2]

G7        C7           
So,....if Sunday is free, why don't you come with me
                                    G7
And we'll poison the pigeons in the park?
     Dm         
And maybe we'll do in a squirrel or two
               G7                     C
While we're poisoning pigeons in the park


[Post-chorus 2]

        F                     C
We'll murder them all, amid laughter and merriment
   D7                       G7
Except for the few we take home to experiment!
    C             Cmaj7               C7                     D7        G7
My pulse will be quickening with each drop of strychenine we feed to a pigeon
    D7             G7         D7      G7            C    G7 C
It just takes a smidgin, to poison a pigeon in the park!
