The Lyrics

Croonin’—oh shucks, I’m muffin’ the tune,
squealin’ so shrilly, folks leave the room.

My singing don’t engender aural splendor;
many people hear me…go on a bender.
They say it’s a blight when I screech; my deadly
croonin’ sends ’em to the avenue,
moving far away, out of my view.

I always thought I’d sing so pleasantly;
but rotten tomatoes are drenchin’ me.
I guess I will have to admit defeat
in croonin’, ’cause I can’t carry a tune.
Speaking is the best that I can do.
Do, re mi? No!

I do not know piano from forte;
it seems my tongue always gets in the way.
My uvula always the wrong way sways.
I “sing,” folks exit the room expeditiously.

“Mooin” one guys labels how I croon…
beats me with the handle of a broom.
“Ow! Ow!! Ow!!! Ow!!!!

Booin’, folks huff, “Shut up!”
