From 1927 British musical, "Mr. Cinders"
[Intro]
Gm D7 Gm D7sus4 D+ D
There's a danger zone, not a stranger zone
Gm Gm7 Cm7 Cm6 A7-9 A7-5 A7 D7
Than the little plot I walk on that I call my home.
Gm D7 Gm D7sus4 D+ D
Full of eerie sights, weird and skeerie sights
Gm Cm7 Cm6 A7-9 D7 Gm7
Ev'ry vicious animal that creeps and crawls and bites.
[Verse 1]
D7 G Em7 Am7 D7
On the Amazon the prophylactics prowl,
G Em7 Am7 D7
On the Amazon the hypodermics howl,
G Em7 Am6 D7
On the Amazon you'll hear a scarab scowl
G E7 Am7 A7-5 D7
And sting, zodiacs on the wing.
G Em7 Am7 D7
All the stalactites and vicious vertebrae
G Em7 Am7 D7
Hunt the stalagmites while laryngitis slay
G Em7 Am6 Am7 D7
All the parasites that come from Paraguay in Spring...mmmmmm
Dm7/G C Cm G F# F E
Snarling equinox among the rocks will seize you,
E7 A7 Am D9
And the Fahrenheit comes out at night to freeze you.
D7 G Em7 Am7 D7
Wild duodenum are lurking in the trees
G Em7 Am6 D7
And the jungle swarms with green apostrophes.
G Em Am7 D7 G C#dim Am7
Oh, the Amazon is call-ing me.
[C#dim] [Am7]
[Verse 2]
D7 G Em7 Am7 D7
On the Amazon the pax vobiscum bite,
G Em7 Am7 D7
On the Amazon the epiglottis fight,
G Em7 Am6 D7
On the Amazon the hemispheres at night all slink,
G E7 Am7 A7-5 D7
Where the agnostics drink.
G Em7 Am7 D7
All the hippodromes that lie concealed in mud
G Em7 Am7 D7
Join the metronomes that live in swamp and flood;
G Em7 Am6 Am7 D7
Then the kodachromes come out and drink their blood, Poor ginks.
Dm7/G C Cm G F# F E
While velocipedes among the weeds will scare you,
E7 A7 Am D9
And the menopause with hungry jaws ensnares you.
D7 G Em7 Am7 D7
Frenzied adenoids infest the hills and slopes,
G Em7 Am6 D7
Ev'ry one avoids the deadly stethoscopes.
G Em Am7 D7
Oh, the Amazon is call-ing,
G Em Am7 D7
Yes, the Amazon is call-ing,
G Em Am7 D7 G
Oh, the Amazon is call-ing me.
