Standard (EADGBE)

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!!!!
