Jeremy's Weblog

I recently graduated from Harvard Law School. This is my weblog. It tries to be funny. E-mail me if you like it. For an index of what's lurking in the archives, sorted by category, click here.

In the law school a cappella group I'm in, we rehearsed tonight one of the songs we're doing for our spring concert next month, "God Only Knows" (you may know the Beach Boys' version; we're doing the slower Manhattan Transfer version, but the words are the same). Anyway, I keep on fumbling the lyric and wanting to sing "God's Only Nose" instead of "God Only Knows." So I figured I could ingrain the flub into my head even better by writing a whole parody lyric for it. Apologies that I've sunk to lowest common denominator potty humor here.

Hence: God's Only Nose

It may not smell like flowers
If you eat beans and wait two hours
Some things smell very badly
Cause God lost her nose, so sadly
God's only nose, she can't smell without it

The smell of bread in the oven
A smell no one can help but lovin'
But right when the Earth was forming
God lost her nose one morning
God's only nose, she can't smell without it

That's why some things smell charming
And others more underarm-ing
After the nose was finished
Her sense of smell diminished
God's only nose, she can't smell without it

God's only nose, she can't smell without it
