Tone deaf! i can't play an instrument Tone deaf! i can't even sing Tone deaf! i have to wear ear plugs The noise makes my ears ring They told me when i ws eleven "you shouldn't even bother to try. You've got no musical ability." And they weren't telling a lie Tone deaf! i've got no rhythm Tone deaf! i've got no pitch Tone deaf! i couldn't hit an octave If it meant that i'd get rich All i can do is shout Louder and faster than most That's what i do for a living Traveling coast to coast Tone deaf! i don't have good meter Tone deaf! i dan't sing tremolo Tone deaf! i've got poor register You won't hear me sing falsetto No, i can't hit those high notes And i can't go real low All in all, i'm tone deaf And everyone tells me so Tone deaf!
