Verse 1
G


Throw another log on the fire, boys,


while I unfurl a tail.
C

I've been all over this continent.
G

I've been from coast to coast.

I've even been up as far as

Quebec, Mass.
C

I've fought my way up to the Nile,

G

to the very top floor.

And I've even tracked a polecat

to its pole.
C

I've had the yellowjack.
G

I've been shot full of holes.

I've even grabbed an army mule,

E

plumped by the plumper.
F

But I've never been so ripsawed,
C

highfalutin' mad,
G

as the night I was reclinin' on my Louis

XIV Derriere.

It all started when the telephone tinkled.


Pickin' up the receiver,

I said, oui, oui.

You see, it was a French phone.

The Secretary of State was callin'.

He said, Jimmy, we need you
C

for an important mission.
G

Do you know any
C

thing about foreign relations?
G

I said, foreign relations?


Why, you're talking to a guy

who's got 15 relatives living

in Brooklyn.

How preposterous.

So I said to him, Sec,
D
G

I addresses him in
C

the subjunctive.
F
G

My regrets, but I never can voice busi

ness over the phone.

I'll see you tomorrow in D .C.

at P .M. sharp.

So that evening, at cocktail time,
C

I gets aboard the Congressional
G

Limited.
C

The train was jammed, so
G

what happens?

I had to share my upper berth

with a guy named Joe.

It was too crowded up there

for both of us

to get undressed at the same time,
D
G

so I comes down, Joe stays up,
F

he takes off his coat.
G

Then Joe comes down, I goes

up, I takes off his shoes.
C

I comes down, Joe goes up,

he takes off his shirt.
G

Joe comes down,
C

I goes up, I takes off my pants.
G

I comes down, Joe goes up,

he puts on his pajamas.
C
G

Joe comes down, I goes up,


I puts on my pajamas.

Now we're ready to light down

and go to sleep.

And what happens? It's morning.

We've got to start all

over again.

I comes down, Joe stays up,


he takes off his pajamas.

Joe comes down, I goes up,

I takes off my pajamas.

I comes down, Joe goes up,

he puts on my pants.

Joe comes down, I goes up,

I puts on his shirt.

I comes down, Joe goes up,

he puts on my shoes.

Joe comes down, I goes up,

I puts on his coat.

Now I don't know whether

I'm Joe or Joe is me.
C

It's a case of double identity.
G

He gets off at my station,

I gets off at his station.

His wife runs over to me,


throws her arms around my neck,

gives me a kiss, and says,

Congratulations, Joe,

you're the father

of a nine -pound baby boy.

What a dilemma.

But what could I do about it?

Nothing.

So I went to Hoboken to forget,


and then I went to Hackensack to

forget Hoboken.
F

That's my story, boys.
C
G

So throw another log on the fire.

What? No more logs?
C

Good night, folks.

Good night. you

  • 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.
