Mel Bay, in Your mannual, you tought us how to hold the 

pick,

you've got to hold it in this manner, to play them 

fancy licks.

Now we're happily strummin' along and you ought to hear 

us play,

and I guess we owe it all to you, thanks a lot Mel Bay.



Mel Bay, Mel Bay, we just want to say:

we wouldn't know what we're doing

if you hadn't shown the way.



Mel Bay, Mela Bay, everytime we play,

we always think of you

and hope you have a nice day.

On page 21 you showed is how to play a G,

on page 22 you tought us how to play a D,

but loadee o loadee, we've never learned to play an E

becaouse someone in the outhouse stole page 23.

We're available for advances, that wouldn't be a task,

and we're ready to sign autographs, if anyone should 

ask.

You know we're getting better than we ever thought we 

could,

please send us another book and we'll play twice as 

good!!
