Use a mike to sing like a star
Leave your croon-screams home in a jar
And stay vocally up to par

Or would you rather be Grace Slick?

Grace Slick is a singer who screamed loudly for years
Never turned down a keg of beer
Her voice was awesome, but now it is weak
She just plain blew it with her bourbon shriek
So if you wail, and if you make your voice sick,
You may end up sounding like Slick

So use a mike to sing like a star
Leave your croon-screams home in a jar
And stay vocally up to par

Not like Har-ry Bel-a-fon-te!

Har-ry was Calypso King with his handsome face
His voice was mellifluous with grace
Sang of banana boats' tally-man dudes
Now his vocal cords sound extremely chewed
Be sure to take care or brother you will be
As raspy as Bel-a-fon-te

So use a mike to sing like a star
Leave your croon-screams home in a jar
And stay vocally up to par

Or Roger Daltrey you will be!

Ro-ger could sing anything, as one of The Who
He'd scream, caterwaul, and bellow, too
Too cool for quietness, his only thought
He throws his microphone, a-round a lot
But then if his sort of voice is what you seek
You might end up with Roger's shriek

And all the loudness cranked by The Who
Roger's voice and Pete's hearing rue
So you see, it's all up to you

Every singer deserves this choice:
Let mikes and amps preserve your voice!
