A
Bm F#m A
Through mostly vacant streets a Baker from the outskirts of his town
E Bm
earned his living peddling sweets from a ragged cart he dragged around.
F#m A
The clever Fox crept close behind, kept an ever watchful eye
E Bm
for a chance to steal a ginger spicecake or a boysenberry pie.
Bm F#m A
Looking down was the hungry Crow: When the time is right I'll strike
E Bm
and condescend to the earth below and take whichever treat I like!
F#m A
The moment the Baker turned around to shoo the Fox off from his cart,
E
the Crow swooped down and snatched a shortbread cookie and a German chocolate
A
tart.
A E D
Using most unfriendly words that the village children had not yet heard,
E A
the Baker shouted threats by Canzonet to curse the crafty bird:
E D
You rotten wooden mixing spoon! Why, you midnight winged raccoon!
E A
You'd better bring those pastries back, you no good, burnt-black-macaroon!!!
Bm F#m
The Fox approached the tree where the bird was perched, delighted, in his
A
nest:
E
Brother Crow, don't you remember me? It's your old friend Fox with a humble
Bm
request.
F#m
If you could share just a modest piece, seeing as I distracted that awful
A
man...
E Bm
This failed to persuade the Crow in the least, so the Fox rethought his plan:
Bm F#m A
Then, if your lovely song would grace my ears, or, to even hear you speak
E
would ease my pains and fears. The Crow looked down with the candy in his
Bm
beak.
F#m A
Your poems of wisdom, my Good Crow, what a paradise they bring!
E
This flattery pleased the proud bird so he opened his mouth and began to
A
sing:
A E D
Your subtle acclamation's true, best to give praise where praise is due.
E A
Every rook and jay in the corvidae has been Raven about me too!
