This song is an absolute hoot! Check out the lyrics!
Well, right now it's just me -- been hard at work composing, arranging, and getting my guitar chops back after decades of disuse. Hoping to interest some fellow players in turning this effort into a real performing act.
Story behind the song
This song was a treasure found among a pile of Ebay sheet music acquisitions. Had to write a new arrangement, of course, and updated the lyrics some.
Lyrics
Listen to me sweetie, I have something you should hear Oh me! Oh My!
I know that when you hear it just exactly what you'll say, Oh me! Oh my!
I really hate to talk about my-self but I must, And I trust
That you will not be put off very much if I swell right up and bust.
To give you just a slight Idea, I'll tell you who I am my dear:
I'm the guy that put the fish in the ocean,
I'm the guy, that causes all the commotion,
I'm a one, two, three, four, wonderful man,
I can change your mind by shaking your hand,
I'm the guy, that put the dough in the doughnut and the cus' in custard pie.
Did you ever stop and wonder where they got the sound of thunder,
Look at me, I'm the Guy!
Just received a call directly from the president, oh me, oh my!
He says he knows I'm busy, but he needed my advice, Oh me! Oh my!
I just returned from England, Spain, and France,
where I danced, and romanced.
I slept with all the ladies and the Queen, and I surely ruled supreme!
I never have to brag or boast, My name is known from coast to coast,
I'm the guy, that put the wart on the pickle,
I'm the guy, that put the laugh in the tickle,
I'm a one, two, three, four wonderful man,
I can change your mind by shaking your hand.
I'm the guy that put the horse in the radish and the kid in kidney stew.
Did you ever stop to reason where they get the rains each season, look at me,
I'm the Guy! I'm the Guy. I'm The Guy!
