peggy,

i think her choice may be; learn it off a recording or, don't learn it.
speaking the words in rhythm first and then picking up the pitches off
several recordings (one would be risky) is probably the only practical way
for her to learn it. people with poor music skills tend to learn better by
rote imitation. and singers with little experience have a tendency to have
little ability in imagining themselves singing something they have never
heard others do. (well, in that light, it may be a really good idea to
learn from several recordings. i'm glad i thought of it.)
