[Verse 1]
Am G
I found my love in a grocery shop,
Am E
Selling pickles and egg-plants and bottles of pop;
Am G
She asked me to try her asparagus tips,
Am E Am
And I fell for the smile on her ruby red lips.
[Chorus]
C G
Green stamps were all she gave,
Am E
Green stamps were all I took,
C G
Green stamps were all I saved,
Am E Am
So I pasted them up in my green stamp book.
Am E Am
Da da dum da da dum da da dum dum dum
[Verse 2]
Am G
I'd go every day just to gaze at her face,
Am E
And in no time at all I had bought out the place.
Am G
Tho' ne'er did I e'er taste her ruby red lips,
Am E Am
I own four thousand cans of asparagus tips.
[Chorus]
C G
Green stamps were all she gave,
Am E
Green stamps were all I took,
C G
Green stamps were all I saved,
Am E Am
So I pasted them up in my green stamp book.
Am E Am
Da da dum da da dum da da dum dum dum
[Verse 3]
Am G
Whenever I'm lonely or tired or blue,
Am E
I go to my bookshelf and here's what I do:
Am G
I reach for that book and then with loving care,
Am E Am
I count every green stamp that's pasted in there.
[Chorus]
C G
Green stamps were all she gave,
Am E
Green stamps were all I took,
C G
Green stamps were all I saved,
Am E Am
So I pasted them up in my green stamp book.
Am E Am
Da da dum da da dum da da dum dum dum
