[C] Ya can’t rollerskate in a buffalo herd
[G] Ya can’t rollerskate in a buffalo herd
[C] Ya can’t rollerskate in a buffalo herd
[G] But [N.C.] you can be happy if you’ve a mind to
[C] Ya can’t take a shower in a parakeet cage [ REPEAT 2X ]
[G] But [N.C.] you can be happy if you’ve a mind to.
[Chorus] [F] All ya got to do, is [C] put your mind to it
[D] Knuckle-down [G7] buckle-down, [N.C.] do-it do-it do-it
Well, you can’t go swimming in a baseball pool – – – –
Ya can’t change film with a kid on your back – – – –
[Chorus]
You can’t drive around with a tiger in your car – – – –
Well, ya can’t rollerskate in a buffalo herd [ REPEAT 2X ]
[G] But [N.C.] you can be happy if you’ve a mind to
Ya can’t go fishin’ in a watermelon patch – – – –
