No One's Perfect
Harmonizing Imperfections: A Musical Ode to Flawless Flaws
Lyrics
We would now like to salute all of the beautiful singing groups all over the world
We express appreciation to singing groups worldwide.
When the Norman Luboff Chorus
Specifically acknowledging the Norman Luboff Chorus.
Sings a song like this (like this, like this, like this)
Describing the style in which the Norman Luboff Chorus sings.
Every single note is gorgeous,
Complimenting the beauty of each note they sing.
But they sometimes miss
Despite their excellence, acknowledging occasional imperfections.
No one's perfect, no one's perfect, no one's perfect, and
Stating the universal truth that no one is perfect.
That includes Fred Waring and his Pennsylvanians, and
Extending the idea to Fred Waring and his Pennsylvanians.
The Ray Charles Singers who were made famous by their frequent appearances on The Perry Como Show, and
Mentioning imperfection even in the Ray Charles Singers.
The Mormon Tabernacle Choir, and
Pointing out imperfection in The Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
The Robert Shaw Chorale
Noting imperfection in The Robert Shaw Chorale.
When the chorus sings behind you,
Observing that when the chorus sings in the background.
All they do is hum (hum)
Describing the chorus humming instead of singing words.
Every hum is like an angel,
Praising the quality of each hum as angelic.
Then one hum goes bum!
Humorously noting that one hum goes off-key (bum).
Far above the other singers,
Acknowledging the superior position of a soprano singer.
In the treble clef,
Specifically referring to the treble clef in music notation.
A soprano sings in be flat,
Stating that a soprano sings in the key of B flat.
But the key is F
Clarifying that the overall musical key is F.
No one's perfect, no one's perfect,
Reiterating the universal truth of imperfection.
We have learned tonight,
Summarizing the lesson learned about imperfection.
So you'll be astounded,
Creating anticipation for a surprising ending.
When we hit this last note right
Revealing that the last note will be sung correctly.
