♪♪♪ SING ALONG ♪♪♪ as a piano plays the chords and melody (from the SOLO Edition of the Secular Hymnal).
Singing along to a simple, chorded melody like this is an ideal way to develop your harmonizing skills!
Lyrics:
I think I could work in a castle
By sweeping and mopping the floors
I wouldn't mind being a vassal
I'm not above menial chores
Castle bells I could ring, ring
Or in the roy'l choir I could sing
I'd be happy doing most anything
Cuz I've learned I don't need to be king
I think I could work in a fact'ry
By doing whatever they need
I'd find it all quite satisfact'ry
And I'd do my best to succeed
Cleaning all that needs cleaning
Or picking up garbage to toss
I'd be happy doing most anything
Cuz I've learned I don't need to be boss
