    • Verse 1
    Closest 
    to 
    the bone 

    Sweeter 
    is 
    the meat 

    Last 
    slice 
    of Virginia 
    ham 

    Is 
    the 
    best 
    that 
    you 
    can 
    eat 

    Verse 2
    Don't talk 
    about 
    my baby 

    She's 
    slender 
    but 
    she's 
    sweet 

    Closest 
    to 
    the bone 

    And 
    sweeter 
    is 
    the meat 

    Verse 3
    Now 
    she'd 
    make a 
    good thermometer 

    If 
    she drank 
    a glass 
    of wine 

    She's 
    built 
    just 
    like 
    a garter 
    snake 

    She 
    climbs 
    up like 
    a vine 

    Verse 4
    My friends 
    tell 
    me 
    I'm a 
    fool 

    To 
    love 
    a girl 
    like 
    that 

    Here's the 
    reason 
    I like 
    'em 
    slim 

    Instead 
    of 
    big 
    and 
    fat 

    Verse 5
    'Cause 
    closest 
    to 
    the bone 

    Sweeter 
    is 
    the meat 

    Last 
    slice 
    of Virginia 
    ham 

    Is 
    the 
    best 
    that 
    you 
    can 
    eat 

    Verse 6
    Now don't 
    talk 
    about 
    my 
    baby 

    She's 
    slender 
    but she's 
    sweet 

    Umm, closest 
    to 
    the bone 

    And 
    sweeter 
    is the 
    meat 

    Let's 
    go 

    Verse 7
    Yeah, 
    let's go, 
    yeah, 

    boy 


    Attaboy 

    One more, 
    one more 

    One 
    more, 
    one more 

    Yeah, 
    boy 

    In the 
    moonlight 
    Yeah, 
    Verse 8

    closest 
    to 

    the 
    bone, yeah 

    Ahh, 
    look out 
    now 

    Interlude 1




    Now 
    she'd 
    make 
    a first 
    class 
    Verse 9
    fountain 
    pen 

    If she 
    only 
    knew 
    how to write 

    Her fig
    ure's 
    like a 
    piece 
    of string 

    Um
    m, she 
    rolls 
    up 
    every night 

    Verse 10
    Everybody 
    thinks 
    that 
    I'm a 
    nut 

    To 
    love 
    this 
    lovely 
    worm 

    Boy 
    there's one 
    reason 

    I 
    like 'em 
    slim 

    Instead 
    of 
    round 
    and 
    firm 

    Verse 11
    'Cause 
    closest 
    to 
    the bone 

    Sweeter 
    is 
    the meat 

    Last 
    slice 
    of Virginia 
    ham 

    Is 
    the 
    best 
    that 
    you 
    can 
    eat 

    Verse 12
    Now 
    don'cha 
    talk 
    about 
    my baby 

    She's 
    slender 
    but 
    she's 
    sweet, 
    umm 

    Closest 
    to 
    the bone 

    Umm, 
    sweet, 
    I 
    got another 
    one now 

    Listen 
    here 

    Verse 13
    Umm, she'd 
    make 
    a fine 
    piccolo 

    If 
    she 
    only stayed 
    on key 

    Boy, she's 
    shaped 
    like 
    a rubber 
    band 

    And she 
    loves 
    to 
    snap 
    at 
    me 

    Verse 14
    Everybody 
    thinks 
    I'm 
    insane 

    To 
    overlook 
    her 
    faults 

    But 
    here's 
    the reason 

    I like 
    'em 
    skinny 

    Instead 
    of 
    full 
    of schmaltz 

    Verse 15
    'Cause 
    closest 
    to 
    the bone 

    Sweeter 
    is 
    the meat 

    Last 
    slice 
    of Virginia 
    ham 

    Is 
    the best 
    that 
    you 
    can 
    eat 

    Verse 16
    Don't 
    talk 
    about 
    my 
    baby 

    She's 
    slender 
    but 
    she's 
    sweet 

    And it's closest 
    to 
    the bone 

    And 
    sweeter 
    is 
    the 
    meat

      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

      "

      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 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
