I found out two days ago that my school is holding a singing competition this term. It's nothing serious, just a student-organised one. The teachers aren't involved at all. I want to audition, as soon as I've found out the rules and have picked out a song, but am not sure if I should sing it. It's very difficult and not very well-known, and obviously, I can sing it.

Here are the lyrics.

THE SONG OF THE BRASS KEY

On the streets of Spain, Love lies at your feet, Love's adventure sweet Lives on the streets of Spain.

Ladies beckon you, With a little key. Follow and you'll see, Just where they beckon you.

So if you see me Slyly swinging my key, Then I will see you Shyly following me.

I will bring to you All the joy I know, If you do not go, Then I will sing to you.

CHORUS There is a key, a key to my heart, If you can but find the door; Only for me, for me to impart, The secret of Loveland lore.

There is a golden gateway, That you can open straightway. Just follow me, and then you will see, One kiss is the key to more.

So, are we only common slaves? We don't agree, You have only lived in caves. Up on your hill you Can wait until You hear: (Chorusx2)

The road goes ever on. -Tolkien

(Sorry. The lyrics, not as a Wallof Text.)

SONG OF THE BRASS KEY

1.

On the streets of Spain,

Love lies at your feet,

Love's adventure sweet

Lives on the streets of Spain.

2.

Ladies beckon you,

With a little key.

Follow and you'll see,

Just where they beckon you.

3.

So, if you see me

Slyly swinging my key,

Then, I will see you

Shyly following me.

4.

I will bring to you,

All the joy I know,

If you do not go.

Then I will sing to you:

CHORUS:

There is a key, a key to my heart,

If you can but find the door;

Only for me, for me to impart,

The secret of Loveland's lore.

There is a golden gateway,

That you can open straightway.

Just follow me, and then you will see,

One kiss is the key to more!

5. So are we only common slaves?

We don't agree,

You have only lived in caves.

Up on your hill you

Can wait until

You hear:

(Chorus x2.)

So what does everyone think?
