These days, it's getting harder and harder to find one that IS in tune.

lyrics

THE AUTOHARP IS OUT OF TUNE


(voice 1)
The autoharp is out of tune
The autoharp is out of tune
The autoharp is out of tune
It’s horribly and ridiculously out of tune

(chorus of voices)
Why is the autoharp out of tune?
Why is the autoharp out of tune?
Why is the autoharp out of tune?
(voice 1)
Because I threw it down the stairs

(chorus of voices)
Why did you throw it down the stairs?
Why did you throw it down the stairs?
Why did you throw it down the stairs?
(voice 1)
Because my mom wouldn’t buy me a guitar

(voices)
Why would your mom not buy you a guitar?
Why would your mom not buy you a guitar?
Why would your mom not buy you a guitar?
(voice 1)
Because I never ever clean my room

(voices)
Why do you never ever clean your room?
Why do you never ever clean your room?
Why do you never ever clean your room?
(voice 1)
Because I want her to hire a maid

(voices)
You sound like a spoiled little brat
You sound like a spoiled little brat
You sound like a spoiled little brat
You deserve an autoharp that’s out of tune!
You deserve an autoharp that’s out of tune!
You deserve an autoharp that’s out of tune!
