Give Me a Man with a Nose

Some people say that noses
Should be small and refined
Some even get their noses redesigned
But I could not agree less
I register this protest
For I want a man with a nose..

'Give me a man with a nose!'
So said my great-grandma, so the story goes
Great-grandfather Lawson
Was totally awesome
With respect to the size of his nose
We respect the size of his nose

He was steadfast and smart and serene
With two honest eyes and a nose in between
He may have snored loudly
But he did it proudly
For he was endowed with a nose
Yes, he was endowed with a nose

Great-grandfather Lawson was smart
Well, he led with his nose
But he followed his heart
And my great-grandmother
Had eyes for no other
She said, 'Give me a man with a nose,
Oh, give me a man with a nose!'

A nose takes you right to the source
And just like a rudder
It keeps you on course
Although the wind blows
It's steady as she goes
Yes, you owe a lot to your nose
Oh, you owe a lot to your nose

Golda Meir and Susan B. Anthony
John Lennon, Joan Baez and Jimmy Durante
To name just a few of the great people who
Were endowed with an ample proboscis
What I mean is, they all had big schnozzes

My own nose is medium-sized
Through three generations it's been minimized
To prove my potential, it will be essential
To find me a man with a nose
Yes, find me a man with a nose!
