Up till now, perhaps you've been practicing in
C
Now's the time to take and to make every opportunity
F
to use your newfound techniques for entertaining
other people.
Take your harp to the party,
sing for yourself and all that jazz.
Don't think about being nervous,
for if you're interested in what you're doing, you'll find
others will share your interest.
And that's all gonna fall into place for you
if you just practice, practice, practice, practice.
How did you like the song?
