Take apart a barbershop chord:
\nhear those singers croon and moan;
\ncraft the harmonies we adore:
\nLead, Tenor, Bass and Baritone.<\/p>\n
Lead is the singer who sings the tune
\nsweetly, gently long and true<\/p>\n
Tenor is the one who adds the sparkle:
\nright at the top where the birdies warble.<\/p>\n
Bass is the basis for the masculine sound:
\nplants his feet on solid ground.<\/p>\n
Then we come to the Baritone:
\nBari notes can make you feel stoned.<\/p>\n
Let me explain before you get mad:
\nBaris get the notes the other guys need.
\nBaritone notes are kind of sad:
\nthe Bari part sounds like a crow on weed.<\/p>\n
Barbershoppers tell an old joke:
\nit’s about Baris and it goes like this:
\nif you sing Bari there’s something broke;
\ngarbage notes\u00a0are a Bari’s bliss.<\/p>\n
Yes, I sing Bari, and I have found
\nbari is the part that makes the rest ring
\nwhen you sing Bari you hear the sound
\nfrom the heart of the chords\u2014it’s how we sing!<\/p>\n
Take apart a barbershop chord:
\nhear those singers croon and moan;
\ncraft the harmonies we adore:
\nLead, Tenor, Bass and Baritone.<\/p>\n
