Type the lyrics to “Back to the Old House” by The Smiths

“Back to the Old House” by The Smiths turns into a typing workout here. Type each line as it's sung, and the video keeps pace with you.

Based on its natural singing speed, this track sits in the “moderate” range, a comfortable, steady pace suited to intermediate typists. You can slow the video down or turn on Easy mode (which drops capitals and punctuation) to make it more approachable, or type at full speed to test yourself.

The full lyrics run to roughly 99 words, making it a short session. Repetition in the chorus means you'll drill the same words several times, which is exactly how typing speed on common words improves.
