I HATE MUSIC
WORDS & MUSIC: Earl P. Reinhalter
INTRO: Dm - A7 - Bb - A7
Em - B7
Bb - A
Dm
I know you've all seen movies
A7
about the world of film.
Bb
and we always read news stories
A7
about how the press is such a gem.
Em
and the libraries are full of books
B7
on the literary art.
N.C.
and there are so many stage shows
Bb A
about theatre.
Dm - A7 - Bb - A7 (repeat progression under next section)
spoken:
"they all seem to say:
the blank-blank industry is wonderful.
I'm part of the blank-blank industry.
therefore,
I am wonderful.
now I bet you think
that just because I'm up here singing a song
that I'm gonna sing you a song
about how wonderful
the music industry is.
I'm not gonna do that at all.
I'm not like that."
Dm
I hate music!
A7
I mean what good does it do?
Bb
they say it soothes the savage beast.
A7
well, let them all sing at the zoo.
Em
all those nasally nostrilled noses
B7
blowing in microphones:
N.C.
the hills are alive
Bb A
with the sound of mucous.
Dm
I hate music!
A7
consider the symphony.
Bb
in all there's maybe forty strings,
A7
four strings on each instrument.
Em
and where do catgut strings come from?
B7
one hundred and sixty cats!
N.C.
the hills are alive
Bb A
but the cats are dyin'.
Dm - A7 - Bb - A7 (repeat progression under next section)
spoken:
"you'll never hear me say:
the music industry is wonderful.
I'm part of the music industry.
therefore,
I am, uh..."
Dm
I hate music!
ENDING: Dm - A7 - Bb - A7
Em - B7
