Ode to Mel Bay Lyrics

Mel Bay, in Your mannual, you tought us how to hold the pick,
you've got to hold it in this manner, to play them fancy licks.
Now we're happily strummin' along and you ought to hear us play,
and I guess we owe it all to you, thanks a lot Mel Bay.
Mel Bay, Mel Bay, we just want to say:
we wouldn't know what we're doing
if you hadn't shown the way.

Mel Bay, Mela Bay, everytime we play,
we always think of you
and hope you have a nice day.

(Beginner Guitar Solo)

On page 21 you showed is how to play a G,
on page 22 you tought us how to play a D,
but loadee o loadee, we've never learned to play an E
because someone in the outhouse stole page 23.
Im going down to Hoover's and I buy me an ukulele
I learned to play those pearly shells an' an Ukulele Lady
I've just bought your book Mel Bay on how to play the fiddle,
I can play on that high string and those two in the middle.

(Beginner Fiddle Solo)

Mel Bay, Mel Bay, we just want to say:
we wouldn't know what we're doing
if you hadn't shown the way.

Mel Bay, Mela Bay, everytime we play,
we always think of you
and hope you have a nice day.
We're available for advances, that wouldn't be a task,
and we're ready to sign autographs, if anyone should ask.
You know we're getting better than we ever thought we could,
please send us another book and we'll play twice as good!!

Mel Bay, Mel Bay, we just want to say:
we wouldn't know what we're doing
if you hadn't shown the way.

Mel Bay, Mela Bay, everytime we play,
we always think of you
and hope you have a nice day.
