Play the guitar
What I wanted to do
Parent's veto came through
They gave me a cello
This thing's too large
It's like a barge, it's true
The ground has gained a groove
From dragging my cello
Boy, do my shoulders hurt
Cause of this thing I lug
I hate this damn cello

Music, oh yeah, music is so
The thing I feel is beautiful
You know I don't want this, 'fraid so
Don't blow it but it blows

There ain't a lot
Of decent songs, it's true
That I can play for you
Upon this dumb cello
Because it's like
The bass of viols, dude
But not nearly as cool
Can't jam on a cello

You'd think I'd ask for better notes
Good trick, 'fraid it's not that simple
I'm low on oxygen by the time
I drag this thing to school, bites

I fume
No solos for me, dude
I'd rather play bassoon
But for now, I'm stuck
Cause I hate to be rude
Ask parents for a new
Instrument type

Still practice hard
Until the time I move
I'll sell this dumb thing for food
