It All Comes Out of the Piano lyrics
It All Comes Out of the Piano
Mr. Richard Whiting
At your piano you compose
So many hits for movie shows
Oh, won?t you tell us how?
When it comes to writing
I'm no Professor, non siree
Still, I?ve a methodology
Let's make it work
Right now
Got my fingers on the keys
Wandering the way they please
It all comes out of the piano
Any old piano
Sitting at the '88
Something starts to percolate
It all comes out of the piano
Any old piano
Hey, here?s a little melody in A-flat major
Say, this could be the middle of a song
I?m glad I played ya
Put me at the wooden box
Soon a pretty tune unlocks
It all comes out of the piano
Any old piano, anytime
Every single note I need
Positively guaranteed
It all comes out of the piano
Any old piano
Never ever ask me out
If a baby grand's about
?Cause I'll be there at the piano
Banging your piano
Gee, other kids were melancholy at the keyboard
Me, I could go for hours at a stretch
And never be bored
When a pair of wings I wear
Won?t be playing "Hark!" up there
It all comes out of the piano
Any old piano, anytime
Ain't we got fun?
Ain?t we got fun?
Ain't we got fun?
You're just too marvelous
Too marvelous for words
Like glorious
Glamorous
And that old standby - amorous
It?s all too wonderful
I?ll never find the words that say enough
Tell enough
I mean
They're just not swell enough
You?re much too much
And just too very very to ever be
In Webster's dictionary
And so I?m borrowing
A love song from the birds
To tell you that you're marvelous
Too marvelous for words
Here?s a Japanese Sandman
Sneakin' on with the dew
Just an old secondhand man
He'll buy your old day from you
He will take every sorrow
Of the day that is through
And he?ll give you tomorrow
Just to start life anew
Then you?ll be a bit older
In the dawn when you wake
And you'll be a bit colder
With the new day you make
Here?s a Japanese Sandman
Trading silver for gold
Just an old secondhand man
Trading new days for old
Trading new days for old
Trading new days for old
I've thrown away my toys
Even my drum and trains
I want to make some noise
With real live aeroplanes
Someday I?m going to fly
I'll be a pilot, too
And when I do, how would you
Like to be my crew?
On the good ship Lollipop!
I got trouble, double trouble
What a business soon
I really shouldn?t suffer
My heart is big enough for two
I can walk with them
I can talk with them
Even spoon with them
But I can't go on a honeymoon with them
If that's not trouble, double trouble
I don?t know what to do!
I?m crazy as a cuckoo
I'm trying to be true
Crazy as a cuckoo from trying to be true
I?m as crazy as a cuckoo trying to be true, doo!
Wouldn't it be a change for you and me
To stay at home once in a while?
We cabaret until the break of day
I bet we?ve danced many a mile
I'd like to see a movie once more
They don?t keep people staying up until four
Wouldn't it be a pleasant novelty
To tumble in early once more?
Sleepytime gal
You're turning night into day
Sleepytime gal
You?ve danced the evening away
Before each silvery star fades out of sight
Just give me one little kiss
Then let us whisper good night
It?s getting late and dear, your pillow's waiting
Sleepytime gal
When all your dancin? is through
Sleepytime gal
I'll find a cottage for you
You?ll learn to cook and to sew
What's more, you?ll love it, I know
When you're a stay-at-home, lay-at-home
Eight-o'clock sleepytime gal
Got my fingers on the keys
Pondering the way they please
It all comes out of the piano
Oh, once I saw the dawn while I was improvising
So, I came up with something called "beyond the blue horizon"
Beyond the blue horizon
Waits a beautiful day
Goodbye to things that bore me
Joy is waiting for me
I see a new horizon (I see a new horizon)
Beyond the blue horizon
My life has only begun
Beyond the blue horizon lies a rising sun
