B​.​C. Sterrett (Teenage Horses​)​, poem by Tom Tuerff - Learn How To Sing On Key

from The Song Poem Project vol​.​1 by Swoody Records

/

lyrics

Elvis once sang In the Ghetto
Frank Zappa once sang In France
The Smithereens Sang in a Lonely Place
Bill Wyman in Another Land
Ringo Starr sang in Liverpool
U2 Sang in God’s Country
If they can all sing, is it such a big thing
To ask you to sing on KEY?
It’s not that hard
Cover your ear and sing into your hand
Don’t sing so loud, you stupid kid you down out the band
As lead singers go, I think you should know you have a future in futility
It’s not that hard – find someone who sings on key
Charlie Daniels sings in America
Nirvana sings in Bloom
Phil Collins sings in the air tonight
And the Beach Boys Sing in My Room
Pat Benatar Sings in the Heat of the Night
Bruce Hornsby in the Low Country
Is it too much to ask to take a similar task
And LEARN HOW TO SING ON KEY?
Good god you suck
I wasted good Guinness listening to you
Don’t press your luck
You don’t get an encore the crowd hates you too
You could have avoided your fast unemployment to musical obscurity
If you’d just shut up or learned how to sing on key
Joe Walsh sings in the City
Led Zeppelin Sings in the Light
Wilson Pickett Sings in the Midnight Hour
Five Satins in the still of the night
Mungo Jerry Sings in the Summertime
Village People in the Navy
And I think it’s safe to say
That they never tried to play
Till they learned how to sing on key
Shut up SHUT UP
Your terrible voice gives a bad name to crap
Just give it up
You’d even be tone deaf if you tried to rap
We’re plugging our ears so there will be no cheers
Until you stop immediately
Get the hell off stage
And learn how to sing on key
