about

The nose nuffel does not exist, and that's so sad,
What a beautiful face he would have had!

lyrics

Noses Jan Hauenstein

(Em) (D) (C) (B7)
(Em)"My nose is long and (Am)gray and elegant,"
Says (B7)gleefully and happily the (Em)little elephant.
"I wiggle my nose so (Am)fine and so funny!"
Re(B7)plies the nice little (Em) Easter Bunny.

(C)"My nose is way (G)up in the air,"
Says the gi(Am)raffe, "I can smell the (D)scent from anywhere
Of the (C)leaves that my beautiful (G)nose has found,
That (Am)wouldn't be so easy if my (D)nose were closer to the (G)ground."

The (Em)tapir has a thick fat nose that (Am)looks quite funny,
(B7)"Oy!" marvels the gray old (Em)Easter bunny.
"I can smell everything!" (Am)says the tapir,
(B7)"Everything, really every(Em)thing, my dear!"

(C)"Is that so great then?" asks the (G)Easter Bunny,
(Am)"Sometimes no nose would be (D)oh so good, my honey!"
And (C)now it's your turn, you (G)clever child, do tell,
Which (Am)scents smell as bad as a (D)fat rat’s ass in (G)hell?

And (Em)your nose sits in the (C)middle of your face,
(D)Right in the middle, and (G)that’s a good place,
On either (C)side of the head it would (G)look kind of bad,
But (Am)it’s in the middle, looks (D)nice, and that is (G)that.

The (Em)anteater’s nose is so (Am)long and fine,
It’s (B7)so much longer than (Em)yours and mine.
It’s not hard to guess what the (Am)anteater eats,
(B7)Ants all the time, he pre(Em)fers them to sweets.

The (C)long-nosed coati spends (G)all day asleep,
She (Am)dreams coati dreams that are (D)sweet and deep.
Then she (C)hunts and eats (G) all day long,
And when she’s (Am)eaten enough, she hums a (D)happy co(G)ati song.

The (Em)long-nosed monkey’s nose (Am)looks quite funny,
(B7)"Oy!" marvels the gray old (Em)Easter Bunny.
"What's the long nose for?" "I (Am)can’t really tell,
I (B7)only know my wife (Em)likes it oh so well!"

The (C)nose nuffel does not e(G)xist, and that’ s so sad,
What a (Am)beautiful face he (D)would have had!
And the (C)nose nuffelette with the (G)crimson toes
Would’ve often (Am)tickled the nose nuffel’s (D)long and lovely (G)nose.

And (Em)your nose sits in the (C)middle of your face,
(D)Right in the middle, and (G)that’s a good place,
By (C)far the best place, (G)all the experts say,
And (Am)even when it runs, it (D)never runs a(G)way,
Even (Am)when it runs, it (D)never runs a(G)way! (Em) (Am) (D7) (G)

Why no free uploads? I cover songs. Register them with the German music rights agency GEMA. They hopefully reimburse the artists. The tax authorities demand that I make (not lose) a little money each year... ... more
