    s, this 
    life is tough 

    We 
    both suffer 
    such abuses 

    Girls 
    phoning 
    day 
    and night 

    I've 
    run out of 
    excuses 

    We're not bragging, 

    we're complaining 

    And 
    don't 
    think this is 

    treas
    on 

    We know we're 
    not 

    good looking 

    Our proboscises 
    are 

    the reason 

    Who's got all the 
    charm? 

    Durante and Hope 

    Who's 
    got all the 
    personality? 

    Hope 
    and Durante 

    Who's 
    got all the 
    Savile Fair? 


    Durante and Hope 

    Who's 
    got all the 
    money? 

    Crosby 

    Honest, this is 
    not 
    just a lot 
    of noise 

    We 
    wish there 
    was something 

    we could 
    do for other 
    boys 

    No 
    wonder fellas 
    in this town 

    Walk around 
    with a 
    great big frown 

    They're 
    jealous of 

    the boys with the 
    proboscis 

    They 
    beg for dates 
    with 

    all the chicks 

    But we have to beat 

    them off with sticks 

    No one liked 
    the 
    boys with the 
    proboscis 

    Our 
    secret is variety 

    That's 
    what we found 

    My 
    nose turns up 

    And my 
    nose turns down 

    We get 
    an awful problem 

    Every time 
    we get too close we lock 

    bumpers 

    You'd 
    think this life 
    would make us smile, 


    but it gets 
    boring after a 
    while. 

    blame us if 
    we sit around 
    and 
    mope. 

    Now 
    analyze 
    our as
    sets 

    from our pro
    file to 
    our 

    chassis. 

    I've got so much 
    more than Gregory. 


    I've got so much 
    more than Lassie. 

    So if 
    you've got a sweetie 

    and you plan 
    to elope, 

    beware 
    of the boys 
    of the preposterous. 

    Ah, 
    Jim, my nose has never 

    been any handicap 

    when 
    it comes to girls. 

    Why, in one night, 

    I 
    once went out with five girls. 

    So what? In 
    one night, 

    I once went out with 
    ten girls. 

    Well, 
    on my dresser, 

    I've got 
    pictures 

    of twenty beautiful girls. 

    On my dresser, 

    I've got pictures 

    of forty beautiful 
    girls. 

    Uh -huh. 

    Well, I've been proposed 
    to by fifty girls. 


    But I've been proposed to 

    by a hundred girls. 

    Well? 
    Oh, no, you don't. 

    This 
    time, you go first. 

    So, 
    if you've got 
    a sweetie and 

    you plan to elope, 

    be
    ware of 
    the 
    boys with the 
    proboscis. 

    Yes, 
    sir. 

    Be
    ware of 
    the 
    boys with 
    the proboscis. 

    Yes,

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.
