Intro:
This is the story of foolish Prince Bass Fiddle and wise Jerry Kemal.
As you remember, last time, the Prince was found without a dime on the Ponce Valdez while Jerry
watched from a tree...
Main Part:
Am Em
In the land of Ali Baba near the Sea of Babalee,
Am G F E Am E Am
Lived a man who played the zither with a pronoun on his knee.
Am Em
He would dance among the fuzzy trees and bring the birds to life
Am G F E Am E Am
And his name was Prince Bass Fiddle and he loved his ugly wife.
Am G C G F G F
He would sing the songs of Lutvee in his very special way
G E Am E Am
And he puffed tea with his lumpy head and sleep all night and day.
Am G C G F G F
With his turban and his leicester faced the thieves of Germany
G E Am E Am
But beware great Prince Bass Fiddle, you'll be hanging from a tree.
Am Em
Fifty days and nights they waited for a sign from old Ratan
Am G F E Am E Am
To pretend to wear the colours of the Emperor Charlie Chan.
Am Em
So they strolled into the forest with a song and energy

Am G F E Am E Am
To find bay leaves in the cauldron of the mad witch Betty Lee.
Am G C G F G F
Came the answer from a leaf top that was found upon the ground
G E Am E Am
"Only time and Prince Bass Fiddle will repair your bellies round.
Am G C G F G F
Search the highlands search the lowlands, cruise the Sea of Babalee,
G E Am E Am
But remember that your children need the food from filigree."
Am Em
Then one day in Abalone came a messenger to say
Am G F E Am E Am
That onion-head Bass Fiddle broke in half no more to play.
Am Em
Will we lose our land of Lutvee to the bearded men of Cleaves?
Am G F E Am E Am
Only miracles can save us and some tricks inside our sleeves.
Am G C G F G F
From the sky there was an answer to the question of the plebes
G E Am E Am
"You will meet a tall dark stranger wearing black and blue cannives.
Am G C G F G F
Who is Lucy, who is Nestor? We should only be there now.
G E Am E Am
Why it's Aphrodite Milton and his keeper Prince Kemal.
Goodnight Kemal, this world will never change.
Goodnight...
