I've been having a little problem recently |
| [00:02.438] |
Which is quite disturbing musicallically |
| [00:05.534] |
Involving a semitonal discrepancy |
| [00:08.597] |
vocally and instrumentally |
| [00:11.448] |
You see musicians of different varieties |
| [00:14.313] |
prefer playing in particular keys |
| [00:17.404] |
And singers too treat preferentially |
| [00:20.243] |
Those notes they tackle more proficiently |
| [00:23.346] |
Now you don't have to be a member of MENSA |
| [00:26.704] |
to understand the depth of my dilemma |
| [00:29.583] |
The two elements of me favor two different keys |
| [00:32.886] |
Thus the rift betwixt my finger and my tenor |
| [00:38.073] |
I like nothing more than playing instruments in F |
| [00:41.470] |
It warms the very cockles of my heart |
| [00:44.571] |
The trouble is that F can leave me vocally bereft |
| [00:47.395] |
You see I like playing in F-major |
| [00:50.006] |
but I like singing in F-sharp |
| [00:54.166] |
F-sharp |
| [00:57.504] |
I refuse to be beholden to my hands |
| [01:00.140] |
I don't see why my larynx should give in to their demands |
| [01:03.500] |
I'll not be forced to compromise my art |
| [01:06.295] |
And so I'll just keep playing in F-major |
| [01:08.744] |
and singing in F-sharp |
| [01:12.488] |
F-sharp |
| [01:15.559] |
F-sharp |
| [01:18.374] |
F-sharp |
| [01:21.495] |
F-sharp |
| [01:25.127] |
I'll keep playing in F-major |
| [01:27.692] |
but I'll keep singing in F-sharp |
