| CA7 D7G7 | Spring is here, a-suh-puh-ring is here. |
| CA7 D7G7 | Life is skittles and life is beer. |
| CG7 CG7 C | I think the loveliest time of the year is the spring. |
| A7D7 G7 | Dont you? Of course you do. |
| Dm C | But there's one thing that makes spring complete for me, |
| D7 GG7 | And makes every Sunday a treat for me. |
| C ‑ | All the world seems in tune on a spring afternoon, |
| C G7 | When were poisoning pigeons in the park. |
| Dm ‑ | Every Sunday you'll see my sweetheart and me, |
| G7 C | As we poison the pigeons in the park. |
| F C | When they see us coming, the birdies all try anhide, |
| D7 G7 | But they still go for peanuts when coated with cyanide. |
| C ‑ | The sun's shining bright, everything seems all right, |
| D7G7 C | When were poisoning pigeons in the park. |
| G7 C | Weve gained notoriety and caused much anxiety |
| G7 C | In the Audubon Society with our games. |
| A7 D | They call it impiety and lack of propriety, |
| A7 DG | And quite a variety of unpleasant names. |
| D7 G | But it's not against any religion |
| D7 G7 | To want to dispose of a pigeon. |
| C ‑ | So if Sunday you're free, why don't you come with me, |
| C G7 | And we'll poison the pigeons in the park. |
| Dm ‑ | And maybe well do in a squirrel or two, |
| G7 C | While we're poisoning pigeons in the park. |
| F C | We'll murder them all amid laughter and merriment, |
| D7 G7 | Ex cept for the few we take home to experiment. |
| C ‑ | My pulse will be quikenin with each drop of strychnine |
| D7G7 D7G7 | We feed to a pigeon, it just takes a smidgen! |
| D7G7 C | To poison a pigeon in the park. |
