Closer To The Bone by Louis Prima
Closer To The Bone
Tuning: E A D G B E
[Intro]
B
[Chorus]
E
Closest to the bone
A
Sweeter is the meat
B
Last slice of Virginia ham
E
Is the best that you can eat
E
Don't talk about my baby
A
She's slender but she's sweet
B
Closest to the bone
E
And sweeter is the meat
[Verse 1]
E
Now she'd make a good thermometer
A
If she drank a glass of wine
B
She's built just like a garter snake
E
She climbs up like a vine
[Verse 2]
E
My friends tell me I'm a fool
A
To love a girl like that
B
Here's the reason I like 'em slim
E
Instead of big and fat
[Chorus]
E
Closest to the bone
A
Sweeter is the meat
B
Last slice of Virginia ham
E
Is the best that you can eat
E
Don't talk about my baby
A
She's slender but she's sweet
B
Closest to the bone
E
And sweeter is the meat
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
E A
Now she'd make a first class fountain pen
A
If she only knew how to write
B
Her figure's like a piece of string
E
Umm, she rolls up every night
[Verse 4]
E
Everybody thinks that I'm a nut
A
To love this lovely worm
B
Boy there's one reason I like 'em slim
E
Instead of round and firm
[Chorus]
E
Closest to the bone
A
Sweeter is the meat
B
Last slice of Virginia ham
E
Is the best that you can eat
E
Don't talk about my baby
A
She's slender but she's sweet
B
Closest to the bone
E
And sweeter is the meat
[Verse 5]
E
Umm, she'd make a fine piccolo
A
If she only stayed on key
B
Boy, she's shaped like a rubber band
E
And she loves to snap at me
[Verse 6]
E
Everybody thinks I'm insane
A
To overlook her faults
B
But here's the reason I like 'em skinny
E
Instead of full of schmaltz
[Chorus]
E
Closest to the bone
A
Sweeter is the meat
B
Last slice of Virginia ham
E
Is the best that you can eat
E
Don't talk about my baby
A
She's slender but she's sweet
B
Closest to the bone
E
And sweeter is the meat
