Carpenters - Piano Picker lyrics

Everybody always asked me
How I got to play so fine?
And friends, I'm gonna tell ya
It really did take some time

Yes, after years and years of practice
And a case of real bad knees
While the other guys were out
Playin' with the football
I was home bangin' on the keys

And it got me right where I am
This is me playing the piano
Hope ya like what I do it's for you
And I'll try and sing right too
Doo doo doo doo

I guess, I'm really very lucky
That I've got this thing to play
Cause it can really make me feel good
Even when it's cloudy and gray

Yes, after years and years of practice
(And this changin' of love)
And awful allergies that made me sneeze
And now the other guys are
Out playin' with their girlfriends
And I was still bangin' on the keys
