The Squirming Coil
~From: Eric Berman ([email protected])

    G
The Squirming Coil of sunset
  F
I keep within my reach
      C
Tried yesterday to get away
    G
and hitchhiked to the beach
 
G
I saw Satan on the beach
F
trying to catch a ray
   C
He wasn't quite the speed of light
        G
and the squirming coil
        Fmaj7    C            G
it got away....       It got away (4x)

Bb 
The muscles flex the mother's ring

She fastens children to her king
    Bb
and sends him down the crooked street

When he returns, the birth's complete

Jimmy holds the Tannis root

The forest's tasty nectar shoot

The sun tips off the monarch's suit

Stun the puppy!
Burn the whale!

Bark a scruff and go to jail!

Forge the coin and lick the stamp!
Bb
Little Jimmy's off to camp
