Sour Note

• parody of Sour Girl (lyrics)

Hey -- where are the lyrics at?
I put the printout down and now I can't find it.
Oh no, I'll have to improvise
I'll just pretend I know what the heck I'm doing
(if possible, sing last couple of words off-key)

Oh no, that was a sour note
I tried to improvise but maybe I shouldn't have
Don't turn away -- I still don't know the words,
But here's the chorus now, and that part is pretty good.

(CHORUS)
What can I do?
What can I do? I don't have a clue.
What can I do, I wonder?

Oh no, here comes another verse
It's pretty good, but I still wish that I knew the words
Say, none of this rhymes at all
That makes it easier to make stuff up for singing

Hey, we're almost finished now!
Most of the rest is just repeating the chorus.
Don't turn away, there's only two lines left!
I'll finish up, then you can go back to doomscrolling.

(CHORUS)
What can I do?
I just don't know, so I'm asking you!
What can I do, I wonder?

(CHORUS)
What can I do?
What can I do? I don't have a clue!
What can I do, I wonder?

But then there's the middle 8
I almost forgot
This is the middle 8
And now it's over

(CHORUS)
What can I do?
What can I do? I don't have a clue!
What can I do, I wonder?
