TIPTOE PAST RIPE BERRIES
(to the tune of "Tiptoe Through The Tulips")
Fm6
Come...........
C C#dim Dm7 Ebdim C C+ F Fm
Tip-toe round the messes 'neath the Johnsons' fruiting berry tree;
Fm6 C A7 Dm7 G7 C Am7 Dm7 G7
Please tiptoe past mulberries - my plea;
C C#dim Dm7 Ebdim C C+ F Fm
They stain concrete, and the floor-mats, and our carpets; walk responsibly!
Fm6 C A7 Dm7 G7 C C7
Please tip-toe past mulberries - my plea.

Ripe fruit hot pavement does cook;
Em7 A7 Dm7 G7 G7+
Bird-poo; Yuch! - Purple; just look! So slip your

C C#dim Dm7 Ebdim C C+ F Fm
Blue-stained granite and hall tile-slate, and our carpets; walk responsibly!
Fm6 C A7 Dm7 G7 C C7
Please tip-toe past mulberries - my plea.
F Em7 A7
No diff if you're slow or quick;
Em7 A7 Dm7 G7 G7+
They'll squish; in shoe-treads they'll stick. So slip your
C C#dim Dm7 Ebdim C C+ F Fm
Shoes off at the doorstep, when you're sneaking home well after two....or
Fm6 C A7 Dm7 G7 C
The rug-cleaning bill sticks with you.
