The Lyrics
Those a cappella tunes
Don't sound so fine.
Horrid with an out-of-tune crew
Whose bass high sings;
Butch gal like guy sings.
You know I can't stand it,
Score-chalk-on-board sound.
I thought I sang badly
Until I heard them lay a track down.
Those a cappella tunes
Make my teeth grind
And grind.
I love tunes,
I love tunes,
I love tunes,
I love tunes, but not cow-
bellow-like airs
From this club of glee;
I'd scream, "Enow!"*
(They'd hear me)
If I yelled to this crew,
Century 9.
[fade on sounds of Gregorian chant]
*archaic, pre-1050 form of "enough"
Don't sound so fine.
Horrid with an out-of-tune crew
Whose bass high sings;
Butch gal like guy sings.
You know I can't stand it,
Score-chalk-on-board sound.
I thought I sang badly
Until I heard them lay a track down.
Those a cappella tunes
Make my teeth grind
And grind.
I love tunes,
I love tunes,
I love tunes,
I love tunes, but not cow-
bellow-like airs
From this club of glee;
I'd scream, "Enow!"*
(They'd hear me)
If I yelled to this crew,
Century 9.
[fade on sounds of Gregorian chant]
*archaic, pre-1050 form of "enough"
