Thank you very much.
You know, we've been talking about old instruments,
and that harmonica is pretty old, too, you know.
You pig, I would never say that about your harmonica.
Well, I didn't mean to insult you.
Oh, you did.
I meant the history.
You know, it was invented in the 1700s
by Benjamin Franklin.
Did you know that?
No, I didn't.
I thought he invented the kite.
Well, maybe he did.
But would you play a song on the harmonica,
and I'll [Gm] interpret for you?
[Em] Do what?
[Db] Well, I mean, you just [Gb] play what you're thinking,
and [Em] I'll tell them.
Very dangerous.
[C] [D] [Bb] [Em]
[G] Oh, that's bad.
[Db] [G]
[D] I can't tell them [Gb] that.
[D] [G] Another [Ab] bride, [E] [Am] [D] another June,
[Dm]
[G] another sunny [C] [B] honeymoon.
[Cm] [Bm] Another [E] season, [Bbm] [Eb] another [Am] reason,
[G]
[F] [C] [G]
[E] a lot of shoes, [C] a lot of [Ebm] rice.
[Dm]
[G] The groom is naive, [C] he [Cm] answers twice,
well, [B] don't forget, [Bm] folks,
[E] [Bbm] that's what [Eb] you get for [Am] [D] [G] making [Eb] whoopee.
[C] [Em] [Eb] [Em] [Eb] [Dm]
[D] Picture [C] a little love nest
[Eb]
[Ab] down where the roses [Gm] cling.
[Em] [C] [Dm] Rome roses?
[Em] Picture [Am] some sweet love nest.
What's the matter with your roses?
[Eb]
[Cm] Look [Bb] what a [A] year can [E] bring.
[A] [D] [G] He's washing dishes [Bb] [E] [Am] and baby clothes.
[D] [C] [Em] He's so ambitious, [G] [C] [Cm] he even sews.
Oh, well, don't [Bm] forget, folks,
[E] that's what [Bbm] you get for [Eb] [Am] making [Bm]
[G] whoopee.
Picture [F] [Bm] [Ebm]
[G] [D] [G] [Am] [Bm] [Ebm]
[F] [Dm] [F] [Em] [C] [Eb] [A]
[D] his [Bm] [Bbm] [Am] [G]
[F] [G] [Dm]
[D] [Am] [C] love nest
[Cm]
[Ab] [D] down where the roses [G] cling.
How are your roses?
[Dm] [Fm] Picture that same sweet [Am] love nest.
[G]
[Cm] Look what [Bb] a [Eb] year can [E] bring.
[A] [D] He's still washing [G] dishes [C] [E] and [Am] baby clothes.
[D] [Gb] He's so [G] ambitious, he [C] even [Cm] sews.
Well, [Bm] look [E] [B] [Bbm] [Eb] [Eb] [G] for making [C] [Gm] [C] [Ab]
[G] whoopee.
