BBC Proms 2011: Tim Minchin F Sharp ( Comedy Prom)
I ve been having a little problem recently Which is quite disturbing musicalically Involving a semitonal discrepancy Vocally and instrumentally You see musicians of different varieties Prefer playing in particular keys And singers, too, treat preferentially Those notes they tackle more proficiently Now you don t have to be a member of MENSA To understand the depths of my dilemma The two elements of me favor two different keys Thus a rift betwixt my fingers and my tenor I like nothing more than playing instruments in F It warms the very cockles of my heart The trouble is that F can leave me vocally bereft you see I like playing in F major But I like singing in F sharp, F sharp, I refuse to be beholden to my hands I don t see why my larynx should give in to their demands I ll not be forced to compromise my art And so I just keep playing in F major And singing in F sharp, F sharp, F sharp, F sharp, F sharp, F sharp I ll keep playing in F major And I ll keep singing in F sharp
