The Lyrics
I acquired a cheap trombone. This is my wife's feeling about it.
Children all run
That's what they do when you go practice
For me it's not fun
You're not in a band
And while you're
Blowing just as hard as you can
Pushing out the slide in your right hand
Getting some notes to play, though they're not right
And when I put my hands to eardrums
As you fumble with a tune
I have to say
You've got a trombone now
That doesn't mean you play when there's folks around
You've got a trombone now
The blatting of that thing is an awful sound!
Dog ran away
He went to hide from that tootin'
The neighbors all pray
That we'll move real soon, because you're
Honkin' just as loud as you can
Rattlin' the cells in my brain pan
Getting some notes to play, though they're a fright
And then I start to tear my hair out
As you fumble with a tune
I have to say
You've got a trombone now
That doesn't mean you play when there's pets around
You've got a trombone now
The blatting of that thing make my migraine pound!
You've got a trombone now
That doesn't mean you play when there's life around
You've got a trombone now
The blatting of that thing sometimes shakes the ground!
That's what they do when you go practice
For me it's not fun
You're not in a band
And while you're
Blowing just as hard as you can
Pushing out the slide in your right hand
Getting some notes to play, though they're not right
And when I put my hands to eardrums
As you fumble with a tune
I have to say
You've got a trombone now
That doesn't mean you play when there's folks around
You've got a trombone now
The blatting of that thing is an awful sound!
Dog ran away
He went to hide from that tootin'
The neighbors all pray
That we'll move real soon, because you're
Honkin' just as loud as you can
Rattlin' the cells in my brain pan
Getting some notes to play, though they're a fright
And then I start to tear my hair out
As you fumble with a tune
I have to say
You've got a trombone now
That doesn't mean you play when there's pets around
You've got a trombone now
The blatting of that thing make my migraine pound!
You've got a trombone now
That doesn't mean you play when there's life around
You've got a trombone now
The blatting of that thing sometimes shakes the ground!

Hee! I can totally relate to this one...although for me, it was my 10 year old neighbor and his maniacal trumpet.
One down, 75 to go.
Very funny, Rick - and close enough to the original to remind me how it went.
Arwen, you had me worried for a sec- but my 10-year-old son has started the euphonium, not the trumpet ;-)

Aah...an acute case of irriterial trombonisis...5's ~ ~ ~
And we tumble to the ground and I say
You've got my trombone now
You're beating with your hand on my own brass band, OW !!

Very funny ... and as a trombonist myself, I can really relate to this. When I first started -- in 5th grade, about 50 years ago, my equally inexperienced trumpet-playing back fence buddy/neighbor and I often practiced "together" across our respective back yards, he out his window, I out mine. I'm sure the neighbors all just loved these "concerts"! AAMOF, I still have that old trombone. :-)
