So I learned to play it, mostly because I thought it was humorous.
I had a friend who was a life long organ player. So I handed the paper to him when he was standing outside, and he started to sing it. Then he asked, "Does it sound like that?"
It has chromatic notes in both the left and right hand, and so it through me back some.
But really taken back by his singing I said, "Y-e-s!"
He explained to me that he had been in a college class on Sight Singing. And the teacher would always be handing him stuff to sing to let the class hear how it should be.
