Oh you're in a band? That's really cool, what do you play
Vocals and bass drums guitar, is what we always say
So what kind of music is it? Do you like to sing
Here's where it gets complicated, they don't get one thing
We don't do notes
Never have and never will
This is when the conversation starts to go downhill
We don't do notes
We wouldn't, even if we could
Who says you need to sing in order to be any good
Their expression starts to change and they look genuinely confused
If you don't sing, then what exactly is it that you do
I don't know, we play punk rock and that's all I can say
I'm trying, but I can't describe it any other way
We don't do notes
We are monotone and proud
We don't feel the need to harmonize
We'll stick with fast and loud
We don't do notes
We wouldn't, even if we could
Who says you need to sing in order to be any good
If you find yourself in this dilemma, usually the case
You say your band is punk, a weird look comes onto their face
And even though they'll probably leave you still wondering why
When people ask you what you do, you just have to reply
We don't do notes
Who needs them anyway
We've gone without them all these years
And we're doing okay
We don't do notes
We wouldn't, even if we could
Who says you need to sing in order to be any good
