D  G
I had a little beetle
                       C            G
So that beetle was his name
     C                      G
And I called him Alexander
   D                             
And he answered just the same
 G   D G                            
And I put him in a matchbox
   C                             G
And I kept him all the day
 C                 G       
But nanny let my beetle out
      C                 G
Yes nanny let my beetle out
      C                    G
She went and let my beetle out
D                   G
And beetle ran away

D  G            
She said she didn't mean it
          C                       G
And I never said she did
C                             G
She said she wanted matches
           D
And she just took off the lid
         G 
She said I mustn't worry
             C               G
And I really mustn't mind
                    C                           G
That there's lots and lots of beetles
                  D
The she's certain we could find
                         G
She said I mustn't worry
          C              G
But it's difficult to catch
    C                     G
An excited sort of beetle
          D
You've mistaken for a match

        G
If we looked in all the places
                  C                G
That a beetle might be near
               C                 G
And we made the kind of noises
                 D
That a beetle likes to hear
G  D  G                  
And I heard a kind of something
          C                  G
And I gave a sort of shout
                         D
It was a beetle house
                                             G
And Alexander beetle coming out
       
It was Alexander beetle
           C                     G
I'm as certain as can be
              C                  G                    
And he had that kind of look as though
            D
He thought it might be me

G  D G                                     
And he had that kind of look as though
         C                            G
He thought he ought to say
           C             G               D
"I'm really very sorry that I tried to run away"
G  D  G                
And nanny's very sorry too
C                                    G
Cause you know what she did
               C            G
And she's writing Alexander
D                        G
Very blackly on the lid
D  G                        
So nan and me are friends because
          C              G
It's difficult to catch
        C           G
An excited Alexander
                 D                    G       D  G  C  G
You've misstaken for a match
