Recitative 

D      D6/9     Bm7    Em7        
I feel a sudden urge to sing  
A7     Em7    A7     D     D6/9 
The kind of ditty that invokes the Spring  
     D6/9         Edim     Em  A7      
So, control your desire to curse   
Em7 G/B    Edim Gdim  D 
while I  crucify     the  verse  
   D        Cdim    Bm7   Em7 Gdim       
This verse I've started seems to   me  
A7 Em7 Cdim  A7     D    D6/9    
The "Tin Pan-tithesis" of melody  
    D         G  B7   E7            
So to spare you all the pain,  
Em7         A7      Edim Gdim        D Bm7 Em7 A7 
I'll skip the darn thing and sing  the refrain
