Am
Down in the jungle living in a tent
     Em7
You don't use money you don't pay rent
    E7
You don't even know the time
               Am
But you don't mind

Chorus:
       Em7
Ho hey ho
E7     Am
Ho hey ho
       Em7
Ho hey ho
E7     Am
Ho hey ho

                            Em7
When your light is on the blink
            E7          Am
You never think of worrying
E7                  Am
What's the use of worrying
                            Em7
When your bus has left the stop
              E7           Am
You'd better drop your hurrying
E7                    Am A
What's the use of hurrying

Dm        Dm/C       G7/B     G
Leave me alone, Mrs Vandebilt
           C                  Em Dm Am
I've got plenty of time on my own

E7                  Am
What's the use of worrying
E7                  Am
What's the use of hurrying
E7                Dm6 Am
What's the use of anything

Chorus:
Ho hey ho
Ho hey ho
Ho hey ho
Ho hey ho

When your pile is on the wane
You don't complain of robbery
Run away don't bother me
What's the use of worrying
What's the use of anything

Leave me alone, Mrs Washington
I've got plenty of time on my own

What's the use of worrying
What's the use of hurrying (no use)
What's the use of anything

Chorus:
Ho hey ho
Ho hey ho
Ho hey ho
Ho hey ho

Ho hey ho
Ho hey ho
Ho hey ho
Ho hey ho
