[Verse 1]
 
F                            C
Just one more drink and then I       
Bb                  F
should be on my way home.
F                C
I'm not entirely sure                
Bb                   F
what you're talking about.
F                      C
I've had a really nice time,     
Bb                     F
but my dogs need to be fed.
F                            C
I must say that in the right light 
Bb
you look like Shackelton.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
F             C
Comment allez-vous ce soir?
   Bb                  F
Je suis comme ci comme ca.
F              C
Yes a penguin taught me French back 
Bb          F
in Antartica.
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
F                        C
Oh, I could show you the way
Bb               F
shadows colonize snow.
F                      C
Ice breaking up on the bay 
Bb                F
off the Lassiter coast.
F                      C
Light falling over the pole as 
Bb                F
every longitude leads 
F                      C
up to your frost bitten feet
Bb
Oh you're very sweet.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
F                 C
Thank you for the flowers and the 
Bb           F
book by Derrida, 
F             C
but I must be getting back to 
Bb           F
dear Antarctica.
 
 
[Bridge]
 
F
    Say do you have a ship 
Bb
    and a dozen able men 
C
    that maybe you could lend me?
