I Love Piano
Irving Berlin
1905

Intro
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 piano, I love 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 Padrewski came this way,
I'm so delighted, if I'm invited
To hear a long haired genius play.
So you can keep your fiddle, and your bow,
Give me a P - I - A - N - O - O - O
I love to stop right, beside an upright,
or a high toned baby grand.



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 the soprano,
But I run to the one at the piano
I always love the accomp'niment and a that's because.

I love piano, I love 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 Padrewski came this way,
I'm so delighted, if I'm invited
To hear a long haired genius play.
So you can keep your fiddle, and your bow,
Give me a P - I - A - N - O - O - O
I love to stop right, beside an upright,
or a high toned baby grand.
