SNOOKEY OOKUMS
By: Irving Berlin
Judy Garland
Key: Eb

  -1*   3 -3*  4   -5   4  -3* 3 -3*
There's a mar-ried cou-ple hap-pi-ly
-1*  3 -3* 4  -5   4   -3* 3   -3*
Liv-ing in a-part-ment for-ty-three
-3* -2  -2    3    3*
I live right next door
-5 4 -3*   3    3  3*  -3*
In a-part-ment for-ty-four
-1*  3    -3*   4  -5  4 -3* 3  -3*                                           
Gee but they're a mush-y he and she
 -1*  3   -3*  4  -5   4   -3*   3 -3*
Mush-ing seems to be their spec-ial-ty
-3  -3*    4   -3   3   -2
It would start you walk-ing
-3* 4   -5    3*   3   -2
If you heard them talk-ing

-5   4  -3*  3*   3   -2
All day long he calls her
 -2  -2* 3  -1*
Snook-ey oo-kums
 -2  -2* 3  -1*
Snook-ey oo-kums
-5   4  -3* 3*  3   -2*  3   -2
All they do is talk like ba-bies
 -1*   3*  4 -5* -3* 3  -3*
She's his jel-ly el-ly roll
 -1*  3*  4 -5*-3* 3   -3*
He's her sug-ey u-gar bowl
  -3   -3*  4   -3   3   -2  -3*
Here's the way they bill and coo
 4  -5 -3*   4  -5 -3*   4  -5 -3*
Poo-gy woo, poo-gy woo, poo-gy woo

-5    4    -3* 3*   3   -2
All night long he calls her 
 -2  -2* 3  -1* 
Snook-ey oo-kums
 -2  -2* 3  -1*
Snook-ey oo-kums
-5    4   -3*   3*   3    -2*   3
All night long the neigh-bors shout
 -3  -4  3   -3  -4  3   -3  -4  3
"Cut it out! cut it out! cut it out!"
 4    4   -4   4    -5*  -3*
They cry "For good-ness sake!
  3*   3*  3   3* -3* 3
Don't keep us all a-wake
 -1*  -2    3  -3*   3 -3*   3 -3* -5 -3* -5* 
With your snook-ey, ook-ey, ook-ey ba-by talk!"

[2nd verse]
If you ever heard their mushy song
If you saw how well they get along
You would bet your life
That they weren't man and wife
He's a little fellow, four foot tall
Weighing just a hundred clothes and all
She's a great big lady
Weighs a hundred eighty

Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
