I was auditioning for my high school show
My voice got better, and my acting did grow, yeah
My first time up there, I was pretty damn stoked
But then I got a callback, and I choked

I didn't get the part, it went to some other guy
I didn't get the part, my voice ain't sexy or high
I am stuck in the chorus, townsman #5
I didn't get the part, and I just want to know why!

I knew my monologue was too freakin' long!
Why'd I sing "Don't Cha!" when they asked for a song? God!
I bribed my director with a nice chocolate rose,
it turns out she's allergic, so no go!

I didn't get the part, it went to some other guy
I didn't get the part, my voice ain't sexy or high
I am stuck in the chorus, townsman #5
I didn't get the part, and I just want to know why!

My name won't be in lights in our school marquis
The playbill won't contain my biography
I'll go to college, I'll tell my friends lies
Then they'll see my yearbook, and to their surprise

I didn't get the part, it went to some other guy
I didn't get the part, my voice ain't sexy or high
I am stuck in the chorus, townsman #5
I didn't get the part, gravity I won't get to defy!
