NO ONE WANTS TO HEAR ME SING


I was four years old
Said to my cousin Tim,
"I know this song by heart.
You are my Sunshine my only--"
"Lets go look for pollywog's."
As we looked I sang my song
We got back at Grandpa's farm
Mom said, "Everyone, Tim is going to sing
"You are my Sunshine my only--!"
I started to join in, "No Dandy,
this is Tim's special song."
I went out and played in the barn
Sixth grade I was one of the three Kings,
"We three Kings of Orientar,
We traveled following yonder star."
Didn't get to field and mountain
I think Johnny should do a solo,
Bill finish and point to the star
Dandy, you just stand in front of the manger."
It was a do-wop group, "Baracudas I watched practice.
"We want to be the first mixed group
Do you want to join our group we are
practicing to win the talent contest?"
"No one wants to hear me sing!"
"You only have to do backup singing
"Blue Moon, I saw you standing alune,
without a love of your own--!",Right, "Dandy
we will teach you the dance moves,
all you have to do is move like this and dip."
I thought I did well on my part.
Won the contest with me dancing and bending.
Decided to replace me for the nationals
No one wants to hear me sing
So last night no one was around and
I sang in the shower, scalding water came out.
Critics critics--adjusted and pure ice
So I decided to sing to the dog
Has anyone seen a lost German Shepard?
