C C/B G C C/B G
If I had a boat, I'd go out on the ocean
C C/B G C/E D/F#
And if I had a pony, I'd ride him on my boat (this first 'verse'
C C/B G C C/B G turns out to be
And we could all together, go out on the ocean the Chorus)
G D/F# G
Just me upon my pony on my boat
G C C/B G
And if I were Roy Rogers, I'd sure enough be single
G D/F#
I couldn't bring myself to marryin' old Dale
G C C/B G
It'd just be me & Trigger; we'd go ridin' through them movies
G D/F#
And we'd buy a boat and on the sea we'd sail
(Chorus)
Well, the mystery masked man was smart, he got himself a Tonto
Cuz Tonto did the dirty work for free
But Tonto, he was smarter, and one day said Kemosabe
You can kiss my , I bought a boat, I'm headed out to sea
(Chorus)
(Instrumental break)
And if I were like light'ning, I wouldn't need no sneakers
Well, I'd come and go whenever I would please
And I'd scare 'em by the shady tree, 'n scare 'em by the light pole
But I would not scare my pony on my boat out on the sea
(Chorus)
G D/F# G C G D G
Just me upon my pony on my boat
