-5    -8  -6*  6
When breez-es blow 
-5  6   -6* -6*  6  -5  6
Pet-ti-coats of Port-u-gal.
-5        8  -6* 6
There’s quite a show 
-5  6    -6*  -6*   6 -5  6
on the streets of Port-u-gal;
-5    7  -8  -9  -8   -7   7*

7     -7   -8   8
Whis-tles and smiles,

Start traf-fic jams,

Theres not a guy a-live who does-n’t thrive
-7   8   -8    -7    7    -8
On watch-ing skirts blow free!
-7  7 -6*  6  -5  -5 -6*  -7   8   -7 -6* 7
Es-pe-cial-ly the pet-ti-coats of Port-u-gal;
