I Love a Piano

As a child I went wild when a band played;
 How I ran to that man when his hand swayed.
 Clarinetswere my pets,
 and a slide trombone
 I thought was simply divine.
 But today when they play I could hiss them;
 Ev'ry bar is a jar to my system;
 But there's one thing in the accompaniment
 That I call my own.
 ...you know your best friend
 doesn't neccesserily have to be a person...
 sometimes your best friend can be an inanimate object...
 I love a piano,
 I love a piano,
 I love to hear somebody play.
 Upon a piano,
 a grand piano,
 It simply carries me away.
 I know a fine way to keep a Steinway,
 I love to run my fingers
 o'er the keys, the ivories,
 And with the pedal I love to meddle
 When Padarewski comes my way,
 I'm so excited when I'm invited
 To hear that long haired genius play.
 So you can keep your fiddle,
 keep your bow
 Give me a P-I-A-N-O, oh, oh,
 I love to stop right
 beside an Upright,
 Or a high toned Baby Grand.
 I love a piano,
 I love a piano,
 I love to hear somebody play.
 Upon a piano,
