  • Verse 1
    G

    I don't usually pick on people who haven't

    asked for it by being elected to public office

    and then screwing up, but in

    Nancy

    Reagan's case, I made an exception to that rule,

    and

    not for any of the trivial jazz. I mean, I never did

    get too involved in the brouhaha

    over the purchase

    of new crockery for the

    White

    House.

    It didn't seem to me to be one

    the big ones to get involved in.

    It was not that that riled me.

    I decided to write this

    next song when, with infallible timing,

    Mrs.

    Reagan chose a couple of days after

    John

    Lennon's

    murder to put her two cents worth into the controversy over handgun control,

    which still

    rages in the

    States.

    Predictably, she took her husband's point of view,

    which is basically

    that it's only the possession of a snub -nosed 38

    in every home that's keeping the

    Russian

    missiles at bay. she went on at

    some length about the little gun that

    Ron had bought for

    her when he used to travel a lot making speeches, and

    she told him how she kept it in her night

    table, although she never had learned to fire it,

    you understand.

    Titter, titter.

    And I

    felt a song coming on.
    D
    G

    I've got a little bitty gun on the table
    D

    Right by my little bitty bed

    Though it's really very cute

    How you hold a thing to shoot
    G

    Is too much for my little bitty head

    I love my little bitty pistol
    C

    It's the pride of my little bitty room
    G

    And the gun shoots little bitty bullets

    When the little bitty gum goes

    I'll bring my pistol too.

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
