    Throw 
    another log on the 
    fire, boys, 


    while I unfurl 
    a tail. 

    I've 
    been all over this 
    continent. 

    I've been 
    from coast to coast. 

    I've even 
    been up as far as 

    Quebec, Mass. 

    I've fought 
    my way up to the Nile, 


    to the very 
    top floor. 

    And I've even 
    tracked a polecat 

    to its pole. 

    I've had 
    the yel
    lowjack. 

    I've been shot 
    full of holes. 

    I've even 
    grabbed an army mule, 


    plumped by the 
    plumper
    . 

    But I've never 
    been so ripsawed, 

    highfalutin' 
    mad, 

    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 

    for an important 
    mission. 

    Do you know 
    any

    thing about foreign rela
    tions? 

    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, 

    I 
    ad
    dresses him in 

    the subjunct
    ive. 

    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, 

    I 
    gets aboard the Congressional 

    Lim
    ited. 

    The train 
    was 
    jammed, so 

    what hap
    pens? 

    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, 

    so I 
    comes down, 
    Joe 
    stays up, 

    he takes 
    off his coat. 

    Then Joe 
    comes 
    down, I goes 

    up, I takes off his 
    shoes. 

    I comes down, Joe 
    goes up, 

    he takes 
    off his shirt. 

    Joe comes down, 

    I goes up, I takes 
    off 
    my pants. 

    I comes 
    down, Joe 
    goes up, 

    he puts on 
    his pajamas. 

    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. 

    It's a case 
    of double identity. 

    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. 

    That's 
    my story, 
    boys. 

    So throw 
    another 
    log 
    on the 
    fire. 

    What? 
    No more logs? 

    Good night, 
    folk
    s. 

    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

      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

      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.
