My Bodhrán Is Too Tight by Troll

My bodhrán is too tight.
My bodhrán is too tight. 
I sweat and toil, 
With grease and oil, 
and still the tones not right. 

My bodhrán is too tight. 
My bodhrán is too tight. 
I've tried neetsfoot, 
And oily soot, 
My hands they look a fright. 
It's such a bummer.

I've tried each thing that anyone's suggested. 
And for a drummer, 
It's hard to play a drum that sounds congested. 
And I've protested. 
My bodhrán is too tight. 
My bodhrán is too tight. 

Since I can't play 
It any way. 
I'll do it just for spite! 
My bodhrán is too tight. 
My bodhrán is too tight. 
The fiddler's mad. 
That's too damn bad! 
I'm gonna play all night!
