Thats As Far As I Can Go 1920

One, two, three, four,
ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!
It makes me sore
ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!
I've tried to sing that silly song,
Gee how I practice all day long,
somehow I never got no further,
sumpin' must be wrong.

Do, re, me, far,
so far so good,
but that's all I know;
It makes no diff'rence
how hard I try,
I cannot sing
so very high;
and I'll let you in on a secret
I can't sing low!
Do, re, me, far,
so far so good,
but that's as far as I can go!

Do, re, me, far,
so far so good,
but that's all I know;
It makes no diff'rence
how hard I try,
I cannot sing
so very high;
and I'll let you in on a secret
I can't sing low!
Do, re, me, far,
so far so good,
but that's as far as I can go!

When I'm singing
something seems to get me in the throat.
Teacher wonders where
I ever found that funny note!
I hit an "F"
when I aim for "C"
what can this funny trouble be,
maybe I've got a twisted tonsil
that's what worries me.

Do, re, me, far,
so far so good,
but that's all I know;
It makes no diff'rence
how hard I try,
I cannot sing
so very high;
and I'll let you in on a secret
I can't sing low!
Do, re, me, far,
so far so good,
but that's as far as I can go!

Do, re, me, far,
so far so good,
but that's all I know;
It makes no diff'rence
how hard I try,
I cannot sing
so very high;
and I'll let you in on a secret
I can't sing low!
Do, re, me, far,
so far so good,
but that's as far as I can go!
