WHAT A NOSE Sung by: Neal Morris Recorded in Mountain View, AR 8/20/59 Click here to listen to the original recording 'Twas at this fancy ball. She wore her hair on the top of her head, And she called it a waterfall. She dressed in the heights of fashion-- She said her name was Rose-- And I never shall forget that girl, For she had such a wonderful nose. Oh, didn't she have a nose, A funny, funny nose. But not so very funny, I suppose. Every time she would go out, The little kids, they would shout, Dobedy doobedy geeb-a-wac, But what a nose. Well, I took her into a restaurant, And I sit her down to supper. She fainted over the table, Ran her nose into the butter. She sneezed so hard she strangled, And then a moment later, The limburger cheese slipped down her back, And she choked to death on a potater. |
