[00:05.12]I have known little civility, sir
[00:12.88]Few have been kind, fewer truthful
[00:19.15]And though within my ability, sir
[00:25.79]I remain dutifully youthful
[00:31.71]I go gray, then bald, with chagrin
[00:37.77]When you play the violin
[00:42.32]How I pray for death to begin
[00:47.57]When you play the violin
[00:53.78]True, there's been trouble and trickery, sir
[01:03.95]Trembling and tribulations
[01:10.78]Twitches from switches of hickory, sir
[01:17.37]You, sir, and your usurpation
[01:23.55]But my patience wears very thin
[01:29.87]When you play the violin
[01:34.76]How I stay, I can't imagine
[01:39.62]When you play the violin
[01:47.57]I've endured struggling and thuggery, sir
[01:56.71]Physical ed. and psychosis
[02:06.64]Sculleries, skulls, and skullduggeries, sir
[02:16.16]Haplessness, hype and hypnosis
[02:22.65]But, oy vey! The horrible din
[02:27.14]When you play the violin
[02:31.78]You betray an ear made of tin
[02:36.64]When you play, when you slay the violin
