The Dummy Song—The Washboard Resonators chords
Start Jamming...
We have a weird one because the set so far has been perfectly ordinary, just what you'd expect on a Thursday [C] in Plymouth.
[A]
And this is a song called The Dummies [B] Song, that I heard recording of Louis Armstrong doing.
[Eb] And it's about building your ideal woman out of bits of your house.
[Am] [B] [C]
[Ab] [G] [A]
I'll take the legs from some old table, and I'll take the arms from some [G] old chair,
and I'll take the neck from some old bottle, [C] and from [D] the horse I'll [N] take the hair,
I'll take the hair, I'll take the [Em] hands and face from off a clock,
and [Bb] baby, [F]
I'll get more loving [C] from that dum [A]-dum-dum-dummy [Bb] than I [F] ever got [C] from you.
[G] [C]
Now then, Louis Prima also used to do a version of this song.
And he's Italian, but I'm from South Wales originally, so I'm going to take you guys with me for a minute,
and then we're going to go back to Wales and leave Plymouth.
You've got to imagine the hills and the valleys and the rain and the sheep and the daffodils,
the cow on the stove, and I'll sing some words that no one can understand.
[Db] I'll take the legs from some [Am] old table, and I'll take the arms from [Em] some old chair,
and I'll take the [B] neck from some old [G] bottle, and [Gb] from the horse I'll take the [Fm] hair,
I'll take the hair, [C] I'll take the hands and face from off a clock,
[G]
[C] and baby, I'll [F] get more loving from that dum [C] [A]
-dum-dum-dummy than [Gb] I [B] ever got from [C] you.
[G] [C] Hiya, Mike.
Hey, hey, hey.
Shall we go to France?
Go to France.
One, two, one.
[A] Probably [N] relaxing, prancing.
There are only French people in, so I can't really do the accent.
I [A] don't want to offend.
[Am] Okay, good.
Right, we're on.
So we're going to [B] leave Plymouth once again, travel over to [C] France,
and imagine sitting [F] outside a [E] Parisian café, [Am] a baguette in one hand, a coffee in the other,
[D] marvelling at the [G] Eiffel Tower in front of you,
[C] and in the distance you hear an accordion playing.
Is that [Em] your accordion? Okay.
[C]
[Am] [Dm]
[Am] [F]
[Dm]
[B]
[Am]
[C] [Am]
[Bb] [Dm]
[A] [D] [F]
The [D] lapin, [B] the [A] lapin, the [Bm] lapin.
[F] [Am]
[C]
I'll take the rake and some old table.
I'll take the arms from some old [D] chair.
[F] I'll take the neck from some old bow.
[D] And from the horse I'll take the [E] hair, I'll take the hair, [C] I'll take the hands and face from off a clock,
and baby, when [F] I'm through, I'll get more [C] loving from that dum-dum [A]-dum-dummy
[D] than I [C] ever got, believe it or not, [D] than I [B] ever got [Am] from you.
[F] [C] [N]
[C]
We'll [E] try one quieter one, seeing as [Gm] most of you are listening very nicely.
[E] We'll give this one a go.
This is a very [Cm] famous jazz stand-up called Silly Side of the Street.
