[F]What did you do America? They're after you America. You got excited and you [C7]started something, nations jumping all a- [F]round.

[A6]The folks who live in sunny [A7]Spain dance to a [E7]strain that they call the Spanish [A]Tan- [C7]go.
[C7]Dukes and Lords and Russian Czars [F]men who own their motor cars [C7]Throw up their shoulders to that [F]raggedy [C7]melody [F]Full of origi- [C7]nality.
[A#m]Italian opera singers [F]have learned to [D7]snap their fingers
