Some funny folks like to shoot off rocketsOthers like to pick your pockets
 Some even kill when they feel the urge
 Some just go in for perjury
 I, too, have a passion that I can't understand
 It comes out when I hear a band
 I like to recognize the tune
 I like to savvy what the band is playing
 I keep saying,
 "Must you bury the tune?"
 I got to know the answer soon
 Is it a cat meowing in the attic?
 Or is it static?
 Must you bury the tune?
 A guy called Buddy
 Plays the drums like thunder
 But the melody is six feet under
 There isn't anyone immune
 They kill Billy Roses and Puccinis
 Don't be meanies
 Must you bury the tune? 
 I gotta to recognize the tune
 So that these crazy songs are on the newslist
 I want to recognize the tune
 Guys I'm playing nothing but the cool lad (?)
 This guy called Buddy
 Plays the dreums like thunder
 But the melody is six feet under
 There isn't anyone immune
 They kill Billy Roses and Puccinis
 Don't be meanies
 Must you bury the tune?
 I give a million that I can hear
 Melody that's free and clear
 Must you bury the tune?
 The tune, the tune,
 The tune, the tune,
 The tune, the tune,
 The tune.
