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
