Some Shockin’ Good

Verse 1:
D
We travelled way down east this year to see our parents place,
G            D       A
And meet our gramps and grandma, who’s never seen our face;
D
The customs and the words were strange but be it understood,
G            D      A       D…..
That everyone we met back home was some shockin’ good.
D
My grandpa took me fishing in his dory down the bay,
G            D          A
You talk about your big ones that didn’t get away;
D

We brought them in and cleaned them up for winter like you would,
G           D      A       D
And what we ate for supper tasted some shockin’ good.

Chorus:
D
Some shockin’ good, old Tom, some shockin’ good;
G            D       A     D
Everything we did back home was some shockin’ good.

Verse 2:
D
My grandma learned me how to cook a scoff up for the boys,
G            D            A
With figgy duff and riblets, pea’s pudding and doughboys;
D
I helped her clean the veggies, and fill the stove with wood,
G           D       A     D
I loved when she told me I was some shockin’ good.
D
Our darling maid soon won our hearts with sweet talk and a smile,

G              D        A
We’d cook and clean and knit a bit and then we’d rest awhile;
D
We tried not to spoil her…, but teach her as I should,
G            D        A    D
Respect for God and everything is some shockin’ good.


Chorus:
D
Some shockin’ good my ducky, some shockin’ good;
G            D     A    D
Everywhere we had a time was some shockin’ good.

Verse 3:
D
Our holidays are over now, we’re heading up along,
G             D             A
We’re very sad to leave here, we’ll be back before long;
D
A grand old place to visit, we’d stay here if we could,
G              D       A     D
It’s nice to live where everything is some shockin’ good.

Chorus:
D
Some shockin’ good old trout, some shockin’ good;
G            D      A     D
Every way we turned we found it some shockin’ good.
D
Some shockin’ good my love, some shockin’ good;
G           D       A    D
Everyone we met back home was some shockin’ good.
