G (With Harmonica) C We’re at Flemington for the Melbourne Cup D G And the race is well in hand G C When all of a sudden a cheer goes up D G From the members in the stand G C I strain to get a better look D G To see what is the cause G C But Auntie’s seen the roses (Gasp) D G And she’s got the secateurs C G To take a cutting, take a cutting D Oh that looks really nice let’s get a cutting C G It just might grow, you never know D G I’ll take a little cutting G C Now we’ve often tried to tell her D G That it really isn’t right G C Sneaking into gardens D G in the middle of the night G C But she just says, ‘Don’t worry, D G It’s really not that bad. G C D G I always keep my secateurs hidden in my bag.’ Repeat C G To take a cutting, take a cutting D Oh that looks really nice let’s get a cutting C G It just might grow, you never know D G I’ll take a little cutting G C Now we’re on holidays in the national park D G We’re packing up to leave G C When the ranger comes a running D G And he’s looking pretty peeved G C You must come and get your auntie D G Before I call the law G C Cause she’s out among the tree ferns D G With a bloody great chainsaw Repeat C G To take a cutting, take a cutting D Oh that looks really nice let’s get a cutting C G It just might grow, you never know D G I’ll take a little cutting C G We’ll take a cutting, take a cutting D Oh that looks really nice let’s get a cutting C G It just might grow, you never know D G I’ll take a little cutting C G It just might grow, you never know D G I’ll take a little cutting C D G
