[Verse]
G C
The Wee Kirkcudbright Centipede, she was very sweet
D G
She was ever so proud of every one of her hundred feet
G C
Early every morning her neighbours came to glance
D G
She always entertained them with a beautiful little dance
[Chorus]
G C
As leg number ninety four gave ninety five a shunt
D G
Legs number one and two were twistin out in front
G C
As legs numbers nine and ten were wriggling up the side
D G
Legs seventy three and four were doing the Palais Glide
[Verse]
G C
Her neighbour Jenny Longlegs with jealousy was mad
D G
She went out and bought herself a pencil and a pad
G C
She came a month of mornings and made careful note
D G
Of every step the centipede made and this is what she wrote
[Chorus]
G C
As leg number ninety four gave ninety five a shunt
D G
Legs number one and two were twistin out in front
G C
As legs numbers nine and ten were wriggling up the side
D G
Legs seventy three and four were doing the Palais Glide
[Verse]
G C
Armed with exact notation young Jenny Longlegs tried
D G
To dance just like the centipede, she failed and nearly cried
G C
She grabbed a hold of the centipede, she says ‘Now, have a look
D G
And tell me how you do these steps I've written in my book?
[Chorus]
G C
As leg number ninety four gave ninety five a shunt
D G
Legs number one and two were twistin out in front
