Mostly Acapella

The whole thing came to me on my morning walk, and I couldn't wait to get home and record. Silly but fun!
Lyrics
I strummed a piano
blew into a cello
they made no sound
so I bellowed:
"It's mostly acapella
for the lonely fellas
the bank tellers, the bad spellers
Joseph Heller, Peter Sellers
Alfred Deller, Uri Geller
Paulie Weller, Old Yeller
Helen Keller, Penn & Teller
Fitzgerald Ella"
I plucked a drum
hummed into a gun
no one heard a sound so
I bellowed:
"It's mostly acapella
for the lonely fellas
the bank tellers, the bad spellers
Joseph Heller, Peter Sellers
Alfred Deller, Uri Geller
Paulie Weller, Old Yeller
Helen Keller, Penn & Teller
Fitzgerald Ella"

bankers, flunkouts, actors, magicians,dogs, scatters...they cant play instruments so they try to sing,
ha this made me laugh i was listening and reading and sniggering like a kid
The biggest Top 40 Doo-Wop hit of 1956.
If only.
Props for the Fitzgerald Ella mention.

Old Yeller would love this, so many notes to sniff!
Well, you made me laugh out loud. I believe that you would blow into a cello. I appreciate that the title is accurate. You seem to be channeling your inner Louis Armstrong here
Oh, this is such a fun! I appreciate an acapella especially if it makes such fun to listen!
This is so powerful, too! Loved to listen!

Ha! Reminds me of my acapella choir days - lol! This is hilarious!
It's hip-hop acapella, with a healthy dose of beatnik spoken-word. Super cool!
