R Stevie Moore - I Wish I Could Sing

Текст песни

I wish I could sing
Lullabies to you
Can you teach me how?
All I do is talk a melody
But it don’t come out a rhapsody
Cover up your ears if you can
You don’t know how bad I am
I wish I was Bing
Young at 24
Entertaining now
When I try to sing a melody
They all throw tomatoes at me
Listen to Sinatra and see
God didn’t give that to me
I escaped the draft by my ear
I told them I couldn’t hear
(What'd you say?)
Tony Orlando won’t teach me
Nobody thinks they can reach me
(I wonder why… oh)
I wish I could sing
On the radio
I could teach me how
All I do is talk a melody
But it don’t come out a recipe
I wish I could sing lullabies to you
I wish I could sing lullabies to you
I wish I could sing just as good as you
I wish I could sing harmonies for you
