Good spring musical audition songs for someone who can’t sing?
I really want to try out for my high school’s production of Pippin, because I heard it’s a lot of fun, but I don’t have a voice. I don’t want a lead role or anything, I just want an ensemble part. But no matter what part you’re going for, you have to sing one song of your choice. What would be some good songs for the audition?

"Jeanette's Showbiz Number" from "the Full Monty" is literally a song written for a singer who can't sing.
I was in Triple Threat in my highschool. It is a lot of fun, even if i didn’t audition i’ll be ensemble, i always auditioned though, it’s a blast
If you're not the best singer, the trick will be to "sell" the song and be in character. You can't be timid and shy - but have fun with the song. I don't know if you're male or female so I included a variety of suggestions:
The song "Sing" from A Chorus Line is actually about auditioning and not being able to sing. You could make that work to your advantage.
"I Cain't Say No" from Oklahoma is a big personality number good for a female audition.
"Talk to the Animals" from Doctor Doolittle could work too.
Songs from Guys and Dolls like "Bushel and a Peck" or "Adelaide's Lament"
If comedy is your thing "I'm Not That Smart" from The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee could be good - just don't go too over the top acting like a child.
"Tonight At Eight" from She Loves Me is a patter song - more like rhythmic speaking then singing.
