[Verse 1]
E
Here on Fibber Island.
     B
We strum rubber guitars.
      A
Our friends live on Mars.
              E
And we sew Buttons on our cars.
E
Here on Fibber Island.
      B
Our house is made of pie
     A
Our dog is two miles wide.
             E
And all he talks about is pie.
 
(During choruses just keep playing the high E)
 
[Chorus 1]
E               E
Here on Fibber Island.
E               E
We swim on the ground
E                       E
Wheels are square, not round
        E                E
We eat chocolate by the pound.
 
[Verse 2]
E
Here on Fibber Island
B
No one sings along
A
We just ride Giraffes
E
And wear bicycles for hats
E
To get to Fibber Island
B
You just close your eyes
A
Start fibbing in your mind
E
And see what you can find
E
 
[Chorus]
E
Here on Fibber Island
E
We hide mittens in our hair
E
You might need to stare
E
To see the mittens in our hair
 
E
 
(Quiet)
 
[Verse 3]
E
Come to Fibber Island
B
And strum rubber guitars
A
Meet our friends from Mars
E
And sew buttons on our cars
E
 
(Song stops and begins again)
