A cornet is not a trombone, and a bugle is not a trumpet,
My ‘roadie’ girlfriend, cum wife, is not a bit of crumpet,
An accordions not a squeeze box, and an organs not a synth .
Booking Agents can help us Musicians, explode this silly myth.
Boys !... can you get the French Horn by playing in the band ?
I am just a poor pro synth player, working throughout this land,
Misguided, paid poor by others, which leaves my car to rust,
After all, I’m a broke musician, just trying to earn a crust.
Guitars, and hurdy gurdy’s, can never be a uke,
Musicians are being pigeonholed, and it’s all a sad huge Joke.
A mandolin, is not a lute, and I know ‘loot’ you think is money,
Musicians are not earning their worth, and that is just not funny.
So don’t lump all keyboard players, as organists,
   or you’ll make no money out of that,
Don’t send us to unsuitable, credulous venues, remember
   curiosity killed the cat !
I am not ready yet, to play my harp, or is that really just a lyre ?
and I don’t want to jump, straight from the frying pan,
    into the blazing fire.
Appreciate musicians, best at playing their own thing,
The case is just not all over, until the fat man begins to sing,
Time has gone by, when musicians sang for their supper,
If we all go on like this, we’ll be all working on our uppers.
It’s not rocket science for all Agents, to see what you can do,
Please check and put your records straight,
   as our future is with you !.
