Ben Folds - Broken Piano lyrics
[Ben Folds - Broken Piano lyrics]
I don't know just how old I was
But when I was quite small
I found an old piano who no one played at all
I climbed the stool and tried the keys
And soon I found a song
And oh I knew right then and there
Here's where I belong
As long as I can keep on
Playing I'm happy as can be
Everybody said the piano's broken but it
Seems to play for me
This old piano's got 88 keys and
Six of them don't play it's out of tune
But honky-tonk is better off that way
Hey, the color is a dusty rose and
The whole front board is gone
So you can watch all the hammers
Dance as the music moves along
As long as I can keep on
Playing I'm happy as can be
Some might say the piano's broken but
It seems to play for me
Yeah it plays like crazy for me
My granddad listened to me play
And he began to smile
He played a fiddle too for me
We both played for a while
And when I had to leave he said
Come back whenever you can
And ever since most everyday you'll
Find me there again
Right, fiddle, me
Yeah, jukebox, ragtime, honky-tonk, swing
We have a good time with everything
As long as we can keep on
Playing we're happy as can be
Everyone said the piano's broken but it
Plays for him and me
I don't know just how old I was
But when I was quite small
I found an old piano who no one played at all
The worn-out tag inside the back says 1923
Everybody said the piano is broken
But it plays like crazy plays like crazy
Yeah, it plays like crazy for me
But when I was quite small
I found an old piano who no one played at all
I climbed the stool and tried the keys
And soon I found a song
And oh I knew right then and there
Here's where I belong
As long as I can keep on
Playing I'm happy as can be
Everybody said the piano's broken but it
Seems to play for me
This old piano's got 88 keys and
Six of them don't play it's out of tune
But honky-tonk is better off that way
Hey, the color is a dusty rose and
The whole front board is gone
So you can watch all the hammers
Dance as the music moves along
As long as I can keep on
Playing I'm happy as can be
Some might say the piano's broken but
It seems to play for me
Yeah it plays like crazy for me
My granddad listened to me play
And he began to smile
He played a fiddle too for me
We both played for a while
And when I had to leave he said
Come back whenever you can
And ever since most everyday you'll
Find me there again
Right, fiddle, me
Yeah, jukebox, ragtime, honky-tonk, swing
We have a good time with everything
As long as we can keep on
Playing we're happy as can be
Everyone said the piano's broken but it
Plays for him and me
I don't know just how old I was
But when I was quite small
I found an old piano who no one played at all
The worn-out tag inside the back says 1923
Everybody said the piano is broken
But it plays like crazy plays like crazy
Yeah, it plays like crazy for me
