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!
