Verse 1 For so long I have dreamt of a place in the choir,
But the teacher has told me my singing is dire!
While others have voices angelically pure,
I’ve a vocal affliction for which there’s no cure!

Verse 2 For so long I have dreamt of a place in the choir, It’s always been something to which I aspire.
But I haven’t got a grasp of melody,
And my sense of rhythm’s not what it could be!

Verse 3 For so long I have dreamt of a place in the choir,
It remains my strongest childhood desire.
But I really doubt it’ll happen that soon,
‘Cause I haven’t yet mastered singing in tune!

Verse 4 For so long I have dreamt of a place in the choir,
But I have a feeling that this could backfire.
For when I open my mouth out comes a sound,
Which could quite literally bring the house down!
Amen.
