Verse 1
C 
This next song
is an Italian love ballad
written entirely in Swahilian tongues
that celebrates the much -famed
genuine romanticism
of the early 17th century postmaster
general.
But it also kind of delves pretty deeply
into the pre -proletariat
rise
of the Venetian stamp collecting regime
under Benito Mussolini.
And I think it was the Greek
Greek philosopher Hysterectomy
G 
who said, to be perfectly honest,
I'm lying.
C 
Do you know the way to a
F 
gentleman's heart?
G 
Ask a million folks
and you'll get a million
C 
G 
different answers.
C 
F 
But I can tell you, one should fire away
G 
All you have to do is listen
C 
G 
to what I say
C 
First you take a scalpel
G 
By the way, portions of this song,
particularly portions
of the song
directly following this vamp
C 
may be deemed unsuitable
G 
for younger listening audiences.
You're supposed to warn people
C 
before the song starts.
G 
I forget.
You always forget.
So do you. Forget what?
Forget. I forget?
We all seem to forget.
C 
G 
You forget too. I do not. Yes you do.
What do I forget?
I forget. Where were we?
Holding a scalpel.
Right. Scalpel. Scalpel. Scalpel.
C 
First you take a scalpel
and you make a slice like
F 
this. Nice cut.
Thank you very much.
G 
Then you put your hands here,
C 
G 
and you rip yourself a hole. Crack!
C 
Then you buzz my ribcage,
F 
and you thrust your fist within.
G 
Grab that pulsing red blob,
just yank it out.
C 
F 
C 
You got mine, you win!
G 
And that's the way to a
gentleman's heart!
you
