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 was 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 can'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!
