To the tune of Lieber Augustin
| G7 | C | G7 | C |
I | heard this sad | song-oh, in the | old Orongo | rongo |
| C | C | G7 | C |
"There'll be | no more double- | bunking, double- | bunking for | me" |
| G7 | C | G7 | C |
I | said to the | vocalist, "Oh, | why do you | so insist |
| C | C | G7 | C |
'There'll be | no more double- | bunking, double- | bunking for | me'?" |
| C | C | G7 | C |
There'll be | no more double- | bunking, double- | bunking, double- | bunking |
| C | C | G7 | C |
| No more double- | bunking, double- | bunking for | me |
| G7 | C | G7 | C |
"Oh | I've had a | gutsful of | tramps where the | hut's full |
| C | C | G7 | C |
There'll be | no more double- | bunking, double- | bunking for | me |
| G7 | C | G7 | C |
I've | weakened and | lost weight. I'm | nervously | prostrate |
| C | C | G7 | C |
There'll be | no more double- | bunking, double- | bunking for | me" |
| G7 | C | G7 | C |
"My | mouth's full of | fur too, I | can't eat my | burgoo |
| C | C | G7 | C |
There'll be | no more double- | bunking, double- | bunking for | me |
| G7 | C | G7 | C |
I'm | washed out like a | dish rag, I've | ruptured my | sleeping bag |
| C | C | G7 | C |
There'll be | no more double- | bunking, double- | bunking for | me" |
| G7 | C | G7 | C |
Hence | forth and here | after I'll | sleep on a | rafter |
| G7 | C | G7 | C |
On a | peak or a | pinnacle or | under a | waterfall |
| G7 | C | G7 | C |
On | sand or on | shingle, but I'm | going to sleep | single |
| C | C | G7 | C |
There'll be | no more double- | bunking, double- | bunking for | me |
