[Verse]
C                              G7                      C
Old man Duff was doggone tough why they called him dynamite
                                            D7               G7
On the mattress filled with broken glass he rested well each night
   F                      C                              G7
He combed his hair with a garden rake and ate his vitals raw
   C
He picked his teeth with a horse shoe nail
    G7                      C
And shaved his beard with a saw

[Chorus]
F                C                                   G7
Old man Duff was very rough and tough as a man could be
   F                      C                         G7           C
He ate wire nails and the bones of whales and drank gasoline for tea

[Verse]
                                      G7               C
Old man Duff had thirteen sons but he beat them all to death
                                        D7                 G7
He choked all the cops so dog-gone they died from the lack breath
    F                  C                                 G7
The sheriff went up to arrest old Duff but he made a big mistake
    C
Old Duff picked him up by the seat of the pants
    G7                   C
And threw him out in the lake

[Chorus]
F                C                                   G7
Old man Duff was very rough and tough as a man could be
    F                  C
Had big floppy ears as long as a steers
                  G7          C
And his hair hung down to his knees

[Bridge]
                 F                                C
I-lee-ol-lee-tee loo-e-do o-lee-loo lee-do-lee-do lee-do lee-do
                    G7                      C
Lee-do lee-do o-lee-ol-lee-tee O-lee-ol-lee-tee

[Verse]
                                         G7              C
Old man Duff had a daughter fair but she died a poor old maid
                                    D7            G7
Many a man would've courted her but they were all afraid
    F                 C                                          G7
Old Duff once found a fella with her why they heard him rave and shout
   C                                              G7                C
He shoved his fist down the poor man's throat and turned him inside out

[Verse]
                                            G7            C
Old man Duff lived a thousand years then he died and went below
                                D7              G7
When old satan looked at him he smiled and said hello
    F             C                                   G7
Now that fire was mighty hot when the put old Duff in there
    C                                           G7             C
But he laid right down and he went to sleep and never singed a hair

[Chorus]
F                               C                    G7
Old man Duff was very rough and tough as a man could be
    F                        C
Had hair on his chest and he wore no vest
                     G7     C
And he looked like a chimpanzee
