There once was a boy named Pierre
Dm7 G7 Dm7 G7
who only would say, "I don't care!"
Gm7 C7 F7M Bb7M
Read his story by friend, for you'll find
F7M Bb7M Dm7 G7 Gm7 C7
at the end that a suitable moral lies there
F F/E Bb7M F/C
One day his mother said
F F/E Bb7M F/C
when Pierre climbed out of bed,
Em7 A7 Dm7
"Good morning, darling boy,
G7 Gm7
you are my only joy."
C7 F7M
Pierre said, "I don't care!"
Dm
"What would you like to eat?"
A7/C#
"I don't care!"
Dm
"Some lovely cream of wheat?"
A7/C#
"I don't care!"
Bb7M F
"Don't sit backwards on your chair."
"I don't care!"
Bb7M F
"Or pour syrup on your hair."
Em7 A7
"I don't care!"
Dm A/C#
"You are acting like a clown."
"I don't care!"
Dm7 G7
And we have to go to town."
"I don't care!"
Gm7 F7M
"Don't you want to come, my dear?"
"I don't care!"
Bb7M F
"Would you rather stay right here?"
"I don't care!"
Dm7 G7 Dm7
So his mother
G7 Gm7 C7
left him there.
Em7 A7 Em7 A7
His father said, "Get off your head
Dm G7
or I will march you up to bed!"
Gm7 F7M
Pierre said, "I don't care!"
Dm A/C#
"I would think that you could see..."
("I don't care!")
Dm
"your head is where your feet should be!"
G7
("I don't care!")
Gm7 F7M
"If you keep standing upside down..."
("I don't care!")
Bb7M F7M
"we'll never ever get to town."
Em7 A7
("I don't care!")
Dm A/C#
"If only you would say I care..."
("I don't care!")
Dm
"I'd let you fold the folding chair."
("I don't care!")
Dm7 G7 Dm7
So his parents
G7 Dm7
left him there.
G7 Dm7 G7 C
They didn't take him anywhere.

Now, as the night began to fall
Am D7
a hungry lion paid a call.
Dm7 G7
He looked Pierre right in the eye
Dm7 G7
and asked him - if he'd like to die.
And Pierre said,
F7M
"I don't care!"
Dm A/C#
"I can eat you, don't you see?"
("I don't care!")
Dm
"And you will be inside of me."
G7
("I don't care!")
Gm7 F7M
"Then you'll never have to bother..."
("I don't care!")
Bb7M F7M
"With a mother and a father."
Em7 A7
("I don't care!")
Dm A/C#
"Is that all you have to say?"
("I don't care!")
Dm
"Then I'll eat you if I may."
("I son't care!")
Dm7 G7
So the li - on
G7 C
ate Pierre.
C
Arriving home at six o'clock
C
his parents had a dreadful shock!
Am7 D7
They found the lion sick in bed
Am7 D7
and cried "Pierre is surely dead!"
Bm7 E7
They pulled the lion by the hair.
C#m7 F#7
They hit him with the folding chair.
Dm7 Dm7/F G7
His mother asked, "Where is Pierre?"
Gm7
And the lion answered,
F7M
"I don't care!"
Dm7
His father said,
G7 Gm7
"Pierre's in there!"
C7 F F/A Bb7M
They rushed the lion into town.
F F/A Bb7M
The doctor shook him up and down.
Em7 A7 Dm
And when the lion gave a roar
G7 Gm7 F7M Em7 A7
Pierre fell out upon the floor.
Dm A/C#
He rubbed his eyes and scratched hiS head
Dm G7
and laughed because he wasn't dead.
F
His mother cried and held him tight.
Bb7MC7sus/F F Em7 A7
His father asked, "Are you all right?"
Dm A/C#
Pierre said "I amd feeling fine,
F/C G7/B
please take me home, it's half past nine."
Bb7M F
The lion said, "If you would care
Bb7M
to climb on me I'll take you there."
Gm7 F/C Gm7 F7M
Then everyone looked at Pierre who shouted,
Bb7M
"Yes indeed I care!"
Gm7
The lion took them home to rest
F Dm7
and stayed on as a weekend guest.
Gm7 C7 F7M
The moral of Pierre is care!
