The Lyrics
Tune fright benumbs you; you can't go up there!
The audience waits, and the stage is bare.
Tune fright benumbs you; you're illed at the sight,
But you have to do your chants tonight.
So you get up and start keening,
But the lyrics come out wrong.
This is oh so demeaning--
You've butchered every song.
Finally you are through;
Some folks want to know:
"Sounds like you can sing your tune right. All dos!"
Tune fright benumbs you so.
The audience waits, and the stage is bare.
Tune fright benumbs you; you're illed at the sight,
But you have to do your chants tonight.
So you get up and start keening,
But the lyrics come out wrong.
This is oh so demeaning--
You've butchered every song.
Finally you are through;
Some folks want to know:
"Sounds like you can sing your tune right. All dos!"
Tune fright benumbs you so.
