Sing Lyrics - Original Broadway Cast

See, I really couldn't sing 

I could never really sing 

What I couldn't do was sing 

I have trouble with a note 

It goes all around my throat 

It's a terrifying thing 

See, I really couldn't hear 

Which note was lower or was higher 

Which is why I disappear 

If someone says, "Let's start a choir" 

Hey, when I begin to squeak 

It's a cross between a shriek 

And a quiver or a moan 

It's a little like a croak 

Or the record player broke 

What it doesn't have is tone 

Oh, I know you're thinking 

What a crazy ding-a-ling 

But I really couldn't sing 

I could never really sing 

What I couldn't do was sing 

Three blind mice 

Three blind mice 

It isn't intentional 

He's doing his best 

Jingle bells, jingle bells 

Jingle bells, jingle bells 

It really blows my mind 

He gets depressed 

But what I lack in pitch I sure 

Make up in power 

And all my friends say 

I am perfect for the shower 

Still, I'm terrific at a dance 

Girls are messin' up my hands 

I'm a birdie on the wing 

But when I begin to chirp 

They say, who's the little twerp 

Goin' 'pong' instead of ping 

And when Christmas comes and 

All my friends go caroling 

It is so dishearten-ning 

It is so disquiet-ting 

It is so discourag-ging 

Darling, please stop answer-ring 

See, I really couldn't sing 

I could never really sing 

What I couldn't do was 

Do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, ti, do 

Do, ti, la, sol, fa, mi, re, do 

La, la, la, la 

Sing, sing 

Sing, sing, sing, sing 

Sing, sing, sing, sing 

Sing, sing
