The Chipmunk Song
               By Tom Vance                  PLAY

Key of C

    
      C                                                  F                           C

Chorus

  Scamper ‘way chipmunk, scamper ‘way home;
                                                                      G      C
    Scamper to your babies, they're all alone.
                                                       F                  C
    The old tom cat’s on the prowl I’d say,
                                                                 G             C
    And he'd like to have you for lunch today.
     
      C                                             F              C

1.

  Little brown chipmunks run and play,
                                                            G                    C
    Look like they’re busy the whole darn day.
                                           F              C
    Little white stripes on their sides,
                                                          G              C
    But if they see you, they’ll run and hide.
     
    Chorus
     

2.

  When you find a berry patch,
    You eat until you’re too fat to scratch.
    Then home you go to your nest to sleep,
    With berry stains upon your cheeks.
     
    Chorus
     

3.

  When you find a patch of seed,
    You stuff your cheeks with more than you need.
    Put them in your pantry right away,
    Save them for a winter’s day.
     
    Chorus
