The Whiffenpoof Song
Words & Music by Meade Minnigerode, George S. Pomeroy & Ted Galloway
Recorded by Rudy Vallee, 1927
C7 F D7 A# Gm7-5 C7
To the tables down at Mory's, to the place where Louis dwells,
A#9 Gm7-5 C7 F Cdim C7
To the dear old Temple bar we love so well,
F D7 A# Gm7-5 C7
Sing the Whiffenpoofs assembled, with their glasses raised on high,
A#9 Gm7-5 C7 F Cdim C7
And the magic of their singing casts a spell.
C7 F D7 A# Gm7-5 C7
Yes, the magic of their singing of the songs we love so well,
A#9 Gm7-5 C7 F
"Shall I Wasting" and "Mavourneen" and the rest;
C7 F F7 A#9 A#m6
We will serenade our Louis while life and voice shall last,
F A#9 C7 E7/9 C7 F C7
Then we'll pass and be forgotten with the rest.
C7 F Dm7 Gm7 C7
We're poor little lambs who have lost our way:
Gm7 C7 F Cdim C7
Baa! Baa! Baa!
C7 F Dm7 Gm7 C7
We're little black sheep who have gone astray:
Gm7 C7 F FM7
Baa! Baa! Baa!
Dm Dm/C Gm Gm/F
Gentlemen songsters off on a spree,
C C7 FM7
Doomed from here to eternity;
Dm Dm/F Gm7-5 C#dim
Lord have mercy on such as we:
A#9 C F FM7
Baa! Baa! Baa!
