Bill Murray - I Love a Piano lyrics

As a child I went wild when a band played
How I ran to the man when his hand swayed
Clarinets were my pets
And a slide trombone I
Thought was simply divine
But today when they play I could hiss 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

As a child I went wild when a band played
How I ran to the man when his hand swayed
Clarinets were my pets
And a slide trombone I
Thought was simply divine
But today when they play I could hiss 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 Padarewski 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 stop right beside an upright
Or a high toned baby grand
