Doh!<br /><br />So, here you go. Uke is tuned ADF#B - in other words, REAL ukulele tuning. Banjo ukes sound better in this tuning and higher tunings, in my experience. If you insist on using C tuning, then the tune is conveniently keyed in C. Here goes:<br /><br />Intro: <br />D \ F# \B7 \ B7\ E7 \ A7 \ D D dim \A7 A7+5 \<br /><br />Verse:<br />D \ D \ D \ D \ A7 A7+5 \ D \ D dim A7+5 \ D \ D \ D \ D \ E7 \ E7 \ A7 A7+5 \ E7 \ Ddim \ A7 \ E7 \ Ddim \ A7 A7+5 \<br /><br />Refrain:<br />D \ F# \ B7 \ B7 \ E7 \ A7 \ D Ddim \ A7 A7+5 \ D \ Ddim \ A7 \ A7 \ E7 \ E7 \ E7 \\ A7 \ D \ F# \ B7 \ Em \ Em \ B \ B7 \ D \ D7 \ G \ G \ E7 \ E7 \ E7 \ A7+5 \ D \ F3 \ B7 \ B7 \ E7 \ A7 \ D7 \ B7 \ E7 \ A7 \ D \\<br /><br />Lyrics are - in the correct order (ahem, not the way I did 'em):<br /><br />Verse:<br />I may look simple but i want you to know<br />I’ve been to college; I’m full of knowledge<br /><br />I’m right at home with brainy men and them my wisdom i show<br />But when there’s clever girls around I get up and go<br />Those educated babies are a bore; I’m gonna say what i said many times before...<br /><br />Refrain:<br />Oh, the dumber they come, the better i like em,<br />cause the dumb ones know how to make love;<br />The Wisenheimer has you meet her folks when you call,<br />The brainless baby always keeps you down in the hall,<br />Oh the dumbbells I’ve met have won beauty prizes, they look like angels sent from above.<br />A clever girl will want to know if you mean to wed, the dumb ones never think of looking that far ahead,<br />That’s why the dumber they come, the better i like ‘em<br />Cause the dumb ones know how to make love.<br /><br />Refrain 2:<br />That’s why the dumber they come, the better i like ‘em<br />Cause the dumb ones know how to make love.<br />The smart girl’s speaking Greek and other languages, too,<br />But the dumb girl’s only language is who’s poochy poochy is you?<br />Oh, the saps that I’ve met have won beauty prizes,<br />They look like angels sent from above,<br />You start squeezing clever girls, you’re soon on the shelf,<br />But when you’re with dumb Doras you can just be yourself.<br />That’s why the dumber they come, the better i like ‘em<br />Cause the dumb ones know how to make love.<br /><br />OK - enjoy, if such a thing is possible.<br /><br />JohnJohn Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12440401101082154726noreply@blogger.com
