Old piano
Out of place
Regarded now
A waste of space
Keys are sticky
Tone's not right
But not so long ago
It would play all day and night
Violin, recorders
A banged-about trombone
This old piano
Doesn't weep alone
Its song is gone now
Once so sweet
You could hear it playing up and down
This sentimental street
Songs of moon, of moon and stars
Drunken songs we took too far
Songs we played when we were kids
Songs sleeping now underneath the lid
Songs of moon, of moon and stars
Drunken songs we took too far
Songs we played when we were kids
Songs sleeping now underneath the lid
Old piano
Don't sound so swell
But once upon
It played so well
Now nobody
Has got the time
It's still in sight
But really out of mind
Truly out of mind
Songs of moon, of moon and stars
Drunken songs we took too far
Songs we played when we were kids
Songs sleeping now underneath the lid
Songs of moon, of moon and stars
Drunken songs we took too far
Songs we played when we were kids
Songs sleeping now underneath the lid
Songs sleeping now underneath the lid
