Agreed that more songs should end with Framingham. That was my favorite part.

Lyrics n tabs. The tabs are off by a fourth because they're based on the guitar shapes. We're actually in the key of F.

You gotta be kidding me
G Am
I've got a brand new ukelelelele and there's
F D7 G G7
no way I can thank you enough for it... or understand...
F C
An inconceivable act of generosity
G Am
That rectifies a hitherto unknown paucity
F D7 G G7
of four stringed cigar boxes in my closet... or on a stand.
Am F C G Am
What the hell are you doing building strangers lyres on the internet
F C G
You claim that you're no luthier, I disagree, you shouldn't fret
Am F C G
Speaking of which it plays real well and before I forget I'd better say

You gotta be kidding me
G Am
I've got a brand new ukelelelele
F D7 G G7
and I can't believe you made it electronic... it has no peer...
F C
And I say this with unparalleled sincerity
G Am
That while this offer has an obvious disparity
F D7 G G7
I hope you'll join me for some wine or gin and tonic... or a beer...

I see what you did there.
This is the most wonderful thank you I've ever heard, and one of the best gifts I've ever seen given. Yay for Quonsar cheer!

This is more evidence of my theory that MeFi Music, which sometimes seems like a sort of misfit hangout that is disconnected from the rest of the site, is secretly the creator and historian of a folk culture and history of MetaFilter.
