The Lyrics
Thanks to Red Ant for suggesting a "cello" title.
My poor-played cello tune,
You call a crime.
"Won't you please stop the strings you do?
They are dyin',
My ears are dyin'!
"You know I can't stand it,
That struck catgut sound
You play really badly--
Take your hand off the bow; put it down!
"You are a cello goon
Who can't keep time,"
You whine.
"I love moos,
I love moos,
I love moos,
I love moos from a cow
When they're compared
To your hauntingly
Played sound: sick sow.
"I hear it!
"You play a cello tune;
Strings and I whine!"
You call a crime.
"Won't you please stop the strings you do?
They are dyin',
My ears are dyin'!
"You know I can't stand it,
That struck catgut sound
You play really badly--
Take your hand off the bow; put it down!
"You are a cello goon
Who can't keep time,"
You whine.
"I love moos,
I love moos,
I love moos,
I love moos from a cow
When they're compared
To your hauntingly
Played sound: sick sow.
"I hear it!
"You play a cello tune;
Strings and I whine!"

funny fit
Maybe not on a Screamin' Jay record, but... There's always room for cello.
I'm glad I could be of help with this title. Loved the parody! I can't wait for the "Othello" one (I hope that gets made), and if you haven't done one yet, something with "Velcro" in the title would be cool, too.
I played a cello, too...and I plaaaaaaay DI-VINE! 555
