American Idol Dream

I like rock and roll music. I have a bad habit of singing along with songs I like. Sometimes I'll try to create a spoof by changing the lyrics. More often than not, I can't get beyond one or two lines. Occasionally, I'll hit pay dirt.
I have a dream about going on American Idol and singing this song to the judges. Imagine that you're sitting with them. How would you respond?

This should be sung to the tune of "With a Little Help from my Friends." If you don't know the song, talk to someone over 40. My humblest (wink, wink) apologies to the Beatles.


"What will you do if I sing out of tune?
Will you sit there and order me out?
Listen to me as I sing you this song,
If I lose, I'll try not to pout."

"Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends.
I'll move on with a little help from my friends.
Maybe I'll cry without help, my friends."

"What can I do if my voice goes astray?
Should I go back and start it again?
If I'm on key all the rest of the way,
Would you judge me so viciously then?"

"Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends.
I'll move on with a little help from my friends.
Please, won't you give me some help, my friends."

"It could be anybody
And you are the ones who will judge.
I just might be somebody.
Only two of you gotta' budge!"

"Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends.
Let me know what you think, my friends.
Will I make it or not, my friends?"

"Can't you believe in a star at first sight?
Now, Simon, don't be such a jerk!
I've only one choice if you tell me, "Good night!",
Tomorrow I'll go back to work."

"Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends.
Oh, I'm begging for help from my friends.
Please, please, give me some help, my friends."

"It could be anybody
And you are the ones who will judge.
If I can't be somebody,
I promise I won't hold a grudge."

It's been nice to be here, my friends.
Gonna' go home and relax with my friends.
Hasta la vista to you all, my friends.
Take good care and God bless, and God bless my friends!"
