Am E A
When I was young and having fun and climing every tree
Am D G (whistle)

D G C

said:
Chorus:
F7 F7 Bb F7

F7 Fdim Bb C F
Go West, get laid, and never join the fire brigade
Bb C F

Am E A

[chorus several times]
Brian Prothrow is a British stage actor who made one delightful album of
funny, sing-along songs that reflect his vaudeville roots. A rare
treasure.
