D-DU-UDU
Which is quite disturbing musically
Involving a semi-tonal discrepancy
Vocally and Instrumentally
You see musicians of different varieties
Prefer playing in particular keys
And singers too treat preferentially
Those notes they tackle more proficiently
Now, you, don't have to be a member of MENSA
To understand the depth of my dilemma
The two elements of me favour two different keys
Thus the rift between my fingers and my Tenor
I love nothing more than playing songs in F
It warms the very cockles of my heart
The problem is that F can leave me vocally bereft, you see
I like playing in F Major, but I like singing in...
Sharp.... Sharp.... Sharp...
I refuse to be beholden to my hands
I don't see why my Larynx should give in to their demand
I will not be forced to compromise my art
So I'll keep playing in F Major, and singing in...
Sharp... Sharp... Sharp...
I'll keep playing in F Major, but I'll keep singing in F Sharp!!!!
