That little trumpet has lost sound Go ahead and ask around Picked up in a house I found Nesting on the burial ground.
Contorted notes filled the room After a dusting with the broom False promise joined in soon. Perched upon a dim lit flume
The night slipped by, no refrain It blasted on through the pouring rain Howled on in the excruciating pain Of having sheltered existence through a life in vain
When daylight came, it was still the same Brass with no name, playing for a dame Really quite the shame, an ever-growing flame Held within a picture frame, was a revitalized search for fame
As darkness came, I grew tired Felt like it was about time I retired Set down the trumpet I acquired And left the shack feeling quite expired
There that little trumpet lost sound Now thereβs no need to ask around Left it in the house I found Somewhat near the burial ground.
