Both: (singing) I can’t help myself I can’t help but (Chandler stops singing leaving Joey to sing the high note himself) Smile

(Joey stops singing)

Joey: dude why did you stop singing?

Chandler: because I can’t do high note and from the looks of it you can’t too

Joey: don’t you mean from the sound of it, because you can’t see my music notes

Joey: the one’s that come from your mouth when you sing yeah, now lest start from I can’t help myself

Chandler: okay

Both: (singing) I can’t help myself, I can’t help but smile every time I see your face, and we’ve never met, I bet you don’t know my name

Joey: we did it, we did it

Chandler: that was only half of the song, probably not even half

Joey: can’t we just sing half of the song?

Chandler: yeah we’ll just sing to the end of the chorus

Joey: isn’t that the end of the chorus

Chandler: no

Joey: Oh man

(Ross and Phoebe are in Ross’s apartment and are trying to think of songs to sing)

Phoebe: In colour?

Ross: yeah I like that song

Phoebe: but you have to do a country voice

Ross: actually I really don’t like the song

Phoebe: fine you don’t have to sing in a country voice

Ross: okay we’ll sing the song

Phoebe: can I play the guitar?

Ross: um... if you learn how to play the song properly

Phoebe: okay

Ross: so do you want to start now?

Phoebe: okay we’ll sing together but when he starts singing times were tough back in ’35 that’s when you start then we sing the chorus together and I get the lines after the chorus and then we sing the last bit together, but we’re not singing the whole song

Ross: okay so are you ready to start?

Phoebe: yeah

Both: (singing) I said Grandpa what’s this picture here it’s all black and white and ain’t real clear, is that you there? He said yeah I was 11

(long pause)

Ross: Oh, (singing) times were tough back in ’35, that’s me and Uncle Joe just tryin’ to survive, a cotton farm in a great depression.

Both: (singing) If it looks like we were scared to death, like a couple of kids just tryin’ to save each other, you should’ve seen it in colour

Phoebe: Oh and this one here was taken over sees in the middle of hell 1943, in the winter time you can almost see my breath

Ross: so are we stopping there?

Phoebe: no we have one more part where it’s both of us singing, so are you ready?

Both: (singing) that was my tail gunner ole Johnny Magee, he was a high school teach from New Orleans, and he had my back right through the day we left

Phoebe: and we’ve finished

Ross: yay

Phoebe: you don’t have to sing if you don’t want to, you don’t sing for the money you sing because you want to

Ross: I want to sing

Phoebe: so are you ready from the top?

(Ross groans)
