[D] I [G] had a little beetle, so that [C] beetle was his [G] name
And I [C] called him Alex-[G]ander and he [D] answered just the [G] same
[G] And I put him in a matchbox and [C] I kept him all the [G] day
But [C] nanny let my [G] beetle out, [C] nanny left my [G] beetle out,
She [C] went and left my [G] beetle out and [D] beetle ran a-[G]way
[D] She [G] said she didn't mean it and I [C] never said she [G] did
She [C] said she wanted [G] matches and she [D] just took off the [G] lid
She [G] said I mustn't worry and I [C] really must be [G] kind
That there's [C] lots and lots of [G] beetles thats she's [D] certain we could find
She said [G] I mustn't worry, but it's [C] difficult to [G] catch
An ex-[C]cited sort of [G] beetle you've mis-[D]taken for a [G] match
If we [G] looked in all the places that a [C] beetle might be [G] near
And we [C] made the kind of [G] noises that a [D] beetle likes to [G] hear
[G] Then I heard a [D] kind of [G] something and I [C] gave a sort of [G] shout
It was a [C] beetle house and [G] Alexander [D] beetle coming [G] out
It was Alexander beetle I'm as [C] certain as can [G] be
[G] And [D] he had that [C] kind of look [G] as though he thought it [D] might be me
[G] And [D] he [G] had that kind of look as though he [C] thought he ought to [G] say
"I'm [C] really very [G] sorry that I [D] tried to run away"
[G] And [D] nanny's very [G] sorry too cause [C] you know what she [G] did
And she's [C] writing Alex-[G]ander very [D] blackly on the [G] lid
[D] So [G] nan and me are friends because it's [C] difficult to [G] catch
An ex-[C]cited Alex-[G]ander you've mis-[D]taken for a [G] match [D] [G] [C] [G]
