This Business We Call Show! - Press It Into The Base (Brass & Sass) Lyrics

Oh if you're feeling blue
About what God's given you
Then listen here fellas
And I'll tell you what to do
Just remember:
You've got to press the ruler
Into the base
That's all you gotta do
To gain an inch or two

Press it into the base

The base of the shaft
(Shaft!)

I wanted the arm of a baby
But the Devil left me feelin' like a lady
Until Daddy told me what to do
Yes he said
"Son just remember
You've gotta press that ruler
Into the base
The base of the shaft

That's all you've gotta do
To gain an inch or two"

Daddy told me if I'm feeling short-changed
Then he's only got himself to blame
But he'd let me know
What his own daddy had told him to do

He said "son just remember
That the metric system's your friend
Because ten centimeters
Sounds as big as any other men"

But if you can't do the math
You can choose another path

Press it into the base
(Yes press it into the base)

That's all you've gotta do
To gain an inch or two

Press it into the base
Yes press it into the base

That's all you've gotta do
To gain an inch or two
