F#m7  A  Emaj7
(intro)

Emaj7
Muskrat, muskrat candlelight

Doin' the town and doin' it right
         F#m7
In the evenin'
                Emaj7
It's pretty pleasin'


Muskrat Susie, Muskrat Sam

Do the jitterbug out in muskrat land
           F#m7
And they shimmy
                 Emaj7
And Sammy's so skinny

             A                G#m          F#m
And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed
  A           G#m       F#m
Singin' and jingin' the jango
  A               G#m      F#m
Floatin' like the heavens above
              Dmaj7        Emaj7
It looks like muskrat love

Emaj7
Nibbling on bacon, chewin' on cheese
                                                     F#m7
Sammy says to Susie "Honey, would you please be my missus?"

And she say yes
           Emaj7
With her kisses


And now he's ticklin' her fancy

Rubbin' her toes

Muzzle to muzzle, now anything goes
           F#m7                      Emaj7
As they wriggle, and Sue starts to giggle

             A                G#m          F#m
And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed
  A           G#m       F#m
Singin' and jingin' the jango
  A               G#m      F#m
Floatin' like the heavens above
              Dmaj7        Emaj7
It looks like muskrat love

Emaj7          F#m7  Emaj7
La da da da da ...
