You heard about old Smokey Joe,
A                             C#dim         B7
 Now there's someone else that you ought to know about
  Em               B7    Em    B7
A little cat named Si-Fu Yow,
A                          C#dim      B7
 And down in Chinatown he's pretty well renowned
Em         B7           Em    B7
 Is you're ready to get happy,
A                   C#dim
