Nunzio knows, when
Em7 Am7
He's cutting my hair:
Dm9 G7
Trim a bit here,
Bb/C C7
And then trim a bit there.
Fmaj7 E7
Just a modest adjustment
Am7 D7 F/G G7 F/G G7
Can fatten the bottom line.
C(add2)/E Fmaj7
Shaving is tricky:
Em7 Am7
The razor should float
Dm9 G7
Shave me too close
Bb/C C7
And you may slit my throat.
Fmaj7 E7
Its the simplest solutions
Am7 D7 F/G G7 F/G G7
That bolster the bottom line
Fmaj7
Give me a week
Em7 Am7
And I'll train them to be
Fmaj7 Em7 Am7
Like an army that's marching to war.

Proud of themselves
F#m7 Bm7
And so grateful to me,

They'll be begging to pay even more!

All we need is some wax

With a trim
[Hannah]
Gmaj7
And a snip
[Bunsen]
F#m7
And a shine!
[Pulitzer]
Bm7 Em7
And the pow'r of the press,
Gmaj7/A A7sus A#dim Bm
Yes! Once again is mine!

Just a few common cents,
