1. Gumboots, they are wonderful, gumboots, they are swell,

C G Am D

'cause they keep out the water, and they keep in the smell.

G C G

And when you're sittin' round at home, you can always tell

G D G

when one of the Trevs has taken off his gumboots.

G D C G

If it weren't for your gumboots, where would you be ?

C G Am D

You'd be in the hospital or infirmary !

G C G

'Cause you would have a dose of the 'flu, or even pleurisy,

G D G

If you didn't have your feet in your gumboots.

G C G

2. Now there's rugby boots and racing boots, and boots for drinkin' rum,

G Am D

but the only boots I'm never without, are the ones that start with "gum".

G C G

I've got short ones and long ones, and some up to me belt,

G D G

I'm never dressed 'till I've got on me gumboots.

+ CHORUS + D7

G D C

3. Whenever I sing at the opera, my gumboots are a must,

C G Am D - D7

they help me hit the high notes, and protect me feet from du......st.

G G7 C G

They keep the water well away, so me voice won't get no rust,

G D G

you will not never see me without me gumboots.

+ CHORUS

G C G

4. Now (names of current unpopular politicians), they haven't made a hit,

G Am D

they're ruining the country, more than just a bit.

G C G

If they keep on the way they're going, we'll all be in turd,

G D G

so you'd better get your feet up your gumboots.

G D C G

If it weren't for your gumboots, where would you be ?

C G Am D

You'd be in the hospital or infirmary !

G C G

'Cause you would have a dose of the 'flu, or even pleurisy,

G D G

If you didn't have your feet in your gumboots.

+ repeat CHORUS

C G

+ Oh, yeah !
