Highbrow Singing Ain'T Fer Me

Highbrow Singing Ain’t Fer Me By Elton Camp I heerd some guy’s the best singer who’s ever been So I went t’ the theater and paid a bunch t’ git in This ugly man come on the stage dressed t’ kill The audience clapped so it must’ve gave ‘em a thrill He started to breathe way down deep in his chest For sure, he wasn’t using his ribs like all of the rest Then he throwed his head back and belted hit out But not in a normal voice there weren’t no doubt But it weren’t no song that I ever heered before And I shore don’t care if I never heer hit no more A whole bunch more he sung and they’d clap I didn’t and wished he would just shut his yap When he finished they stood and clapped fer more But I slipped out and made a quick dart fer th’ door Seemed t’ me he wuz a whole bunch over rated Next singing I want t’ heer is when Dolly is slated
