lyrics
Well let me tell you 'bout the greatest way to rock and roll
The only way to rock and roll
The greatest way to lay your claim to fame in rock and roll
You've got to play it
You've got to play it on your nose
Lay a finger on the side of your nose and hum
You got to pluck that other nostril with your thumb
Give your beak a tweak
Give your snoot a rockin' toot
The way to overcome your shyness is to sound it through your sinuses
You've got to learn to play it on your nose
Well let me tell you 'bout the greatest way to rock and roll
The only way to rock and roll
The greatest way to lay your claim to fame in rock and roll
You've got to play it
You've got to play it on your nose
Spoken:
Well what do you know, we've come to the bridge
Every song should have a nasal passage
Fancy pickin!
Well let me tell you 'bout the greatest way to rock and roll
The only way to rock and roll
The greatest way to lay your claim to fame in rock and roll
You've got to play it
You've got to play it on your nose
Lay a finger on the side of your nose and blow
You've got to pluck that other nostril with your toe
Give your bill a trill
Turn that snout inside out
If you want to be colossal then you've got to play proboscilly
You've got to learn to play it on your nose
It's the only way to play it
It's the greatest way to play it
It's the only way to play it
It's the greatest way to play it
You've got to learn to play it
Learn to play it on your nose
The only way to rock and roll
The greatest way to lay your claim to fame in rock and roll
You've got to play it
You've got to play it on your nose
Lay a finger on the side of your nose and hum
You got to pluck that other nostril with your thumb
Give your beak a tweak
Give your snoot a rockin' toot
The way to overcome your shyness is to sound it through your sinuses
You've got to learn to play it on your nose
Well let me tell you 'bout the greatest way to rock and roll
The only way to rock and roll
The greatest way to lay your claim to fame in rock and roll
You've got to play it
You've got to play it on your nose
Spoken:
Well what do you know, we've come to the bridge
Every song should have a nasal passage
Fancy pickin!
Well let me tell you 'bout the greatest way to rock and roll
The only way to rock and roll
The greatest way to lay your claim to fame in rock and roll
You've got to play it
You've got to play it on your nose
Lay a finger on the side of your nose and blow
You've got to pluck that other nostril with your toe
Give your bill a trill
Turn that snout inside out
If you want to be colossal then you've got to play proboscilly
You've got to learn to play it on your nose
It's the only way to play it
It's the greatest way to play it
It's the only way to play it
It's the greatest way to play it
You've got to learn to play it
Learn to play it on your nose

HORRIBLE SONGS FOR CHILDREN
by Fatcat & FishfaceMaybe an acquired taste to an American ear, but give this CD more than one listen. We (Lisa and I) love it! Fresh, funny, crazy, catchy, childlike, simple yet masterful. Accent hint: neever = never
