POETRY IN MOTION
(Paul Kaufman and Mike Anthony)

When I see my ba-a-by, 
7    7  7  -8  8 -8 7 
What do I see, 
-8   -8 8  -8 
Po-et-ry, 
8  9  8 
Po-et-ry in mo-tion.
-6 -6 -7  7  8  -8 

Po-et-ry in mo-tion
8  -8 7  -7 -6  5
Walk-in' by my side
-9    8  -8 7  8 -8
Her love-ly lo-co-mo-tion
6     8  -8 7  -7 -6  5
Keeps my eyes o-pen wide
-9    8   -8 -10 9   9  

Po-et-ry in mo-tion
8  -8 7  -7 -6  5  
See her gen-tle sway
-9   8  -8   7  8 -8
A wave out on the o-cean
6  8    -8 7  -7 -6  5
Could nev-er move that way
-6    -6  -6  -7   -8   7

I love ev-‘ry move-ment
7 -7   8   -7  -8   7
There's noth-ing I would change
7        -7   -7 8  -8    7
She does-n't need im-prove-ment
7    -7  -7   8   -7  -8    7
She's much too nice to re-ar-range
7      -8  -8   -8  -8 -10 9   9

Po-et-ry in mo-tion
8  -8 7  -7 -6  5
Danc-ing close to me
-9    8    -8  7  8 -8
A flow-er of de-vo-tion
6  8   -8  7 -7 -6  5 
A sway-ing grace-ful-ly
-6 -6   7   -7    -8 7

Whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whooooooooa

Po-et-ry in mo-tion

Special thanks to Noel Harmonica for helping me with 
The intro and the whoa-whoas.

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