broken piano - ben folds lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i don’t know just how old i was, but when i was quite small
i found an old piano who no one played at all
i climbed the stool and tried the keys and soon i found a song
and oh i knew right then and there, here’s where i belong

[chorus 1]
as long as i can keep on playing i’m happy as can be
everybody said the piano’s broken but it seems to play for me

[verse 2]
this old piano’s got 88 keys and six of them don’t play
it’s out of tune, but honky-tonk is better off that way
hey, the color is a dusty rose and the whole front board is gone
so you can watch all the hammers dance as the music moves along

[chorus 2]
as long as i can keep on playing i’m happy as can be
some might say the piano’s broken but it seems to play for me
yeah it plays like crazy for me

[verse 3]
my granddad listened to me play and he began to smile
he played a fiddle too for me, we both played for a while
and when i had to leave he said, come back whenever you can
and ever since most everyday you’ll find me there again

[instrumental]
right, fiddle, me
yeah, jukebox, ragtime, honky-tonk, swing
we have a good time with everything

[chorus 3]
as long as we can keep on playing we’re happy as can be
everyone said the piano’s broken but it plays for him and me

[outro]
i don’t know just how old i was, but when i was quite small
i found an old piano who no one played at all
the worn-out tag inside the back says 1923
everybody said the piano is broken but it plays like crazy
plays like crazy
yeah, it plays like crazy for me
