Well lucky you! If I had a better memory, I think I'd do alright. I tried following the words on the lyrics sheet, but I couldn't read that fast lol

Maybe this short-but-sweet, looping, acapella Hardware Store speed-singing cartoon will help you memorize it.

Irk! I can get as far as Window Shutters, then I lose it. lol
That's better than I used to be able to do.

I can get pretty far into before it becomes a tongue twister... but the worse problem is running out of air. If you sing it with a buddy, it's a lot easier- each person sings four items and you swtich back and forth.

I bet that IS easier!
I don't have the breathing problem. I've been practicing with the breathing.

Im so proud! I mastered Hardware Store!!

It took two years and all my knowledge of breathing techniques but I finally got it!

Even 10 years of vocal training isn't enough for me- I'm little (=smaller lungs).

Awww, I'm sorry. I'm small myself. What I do is take a HUGE HUGE deep breath and just sing until I'm out of air completely and pretty much just croaking the words lol. I think that's training my lungs to hold more air longer.
