As a child I went wild when a band played
How I ran to the man when his hands played
Clarinets were my pets and the slide trombone
I thought was simply divine
But today when they play I could hit them
Every bar is a jar to my system
But there's one musical instrument that I call mine
I love a piano
I love a piano
I love to hear somebody play
On a piano
A grand piano
It simply carries me away
I know a fine way to treat a Steinway
I love to run my fingers o'er the keys, the ivories
And with the pedal, I love to meddle
When Paderewski comes this way
I'm so delighted, if I'm invited
To hear that long haired genius play
So you can keep your fiddle and your bow
Give me a p-i-a-n-o, oh, oh
I love to sit right beside an upright
Or a high toned baby grand
ย
When a green tetrazine starts to warble
I grow cold as an old piece of marble
I allude to the crude little party singer
Who don't know when to pause
At her best I detest a soprano
But I run to the one at the piano
I always love the accompaniment and that's because
I love a piano
I love a piano
I love to hear somebody play
On a piano
A grand piano
It simply carries me away
I know a fine way to treat a Steinway
I love to run my fingers o'er the keys, the ivories
And with the pedal, I love to meddle
When Paderewski comes this way
I'm so delighted, if I'm invited
To hear that long haired genius play
So you can keep your fiddle and your bow
Give me a p-i-a-n-o, oh, oh
I love to sit right beside an upright
Or a high toned baby grand
