The Lyrics
Attempts are funny—whenever I try.
Talent's something money can't buy.
Birds in the trees sing their day full of song—
Wish that I could play along.
I tipple all day, yes, I drink quite a lot.
How do I get that way? Look what I ain't got:
Got no rhythm, can't read music,
Got no talent—
Who could ask for anything less?
In a daze—E's like F flat, huh?
Got no talent
Who could ask for anything less?
Triple, double?
How's the time set?
Just can't find it—so I guess.
Can't get bars right.
What's the beat seem?
Got no talent
Who could ask for anything less?
Who could ask for anything less?
Talent's something money can't buy.
Birds in the trees sing their day full of song—
Wish that I could play along.
I tipple all day, yes, I drink quite a lot.
How do I get that way? Look what I ain't got:
Got no rhythm, can't read music,
Got no talent—
Who could ask for anything less?
In a daze—E's like F flat, huh?
Got no talent
Who could ask for anything less?
Triple, double?
How's the time set?
Just can't find it—so I guess.
Can't get bars right.
What's the beat seem?
Got no talent
Who could ask for anything less?
Who could ask for anything less?

Cute!
I like this one
JD, Royce--thanks. Except for the tippling, pretty much autobiographical, unfortunately.
good concept...music and math has always confused me...however, i do play air guitar and bongos...5s
Clever twist on a classic....especially like the line: "Birds in the trees sing their day full of song"
