IT’S BEEN A YEAR SINCE
I SAT DOWN TO THE PIANO
I HOPE ALL THE KEYS REMEMBER ME
I’M GOING TO JAM A BIT
BEFORE I HAVE TO GO
PLEASE TELL ME WHEN IT’S TIME TO LEAVE
I USED TO OWN MY VERY OWN
PIANO LIKE THIS
I WOULD SIT AND PLAY IT HARD ALL DAY
SUCH A FINE INSTRUMENT LIKE THIS
ONE CAN SURELY MISS
REGRET EVER TRADING IT AWAY
SO IF YOU DON’T MIND
I’LL SIT HERE AND PLUNK AWAY
AND THEN I’LL BE ON MY WAY
I’VE BEEN IN A STORE LIKE THIS BEFORE
SOMEWHERE OUT WEST
THERE I USED TO SPENT A LOT OF TIME
PLAYING ALL THE PIANOS
TO SEE WHICH WAS THE BEST
SO IF YOU DON’T MIND
I’LL SIT HERE AND PLUNK AWAY
AND THEN I’LL BE ON MY WAY
HAD A BAND WE DID ONE NIGHT STANDS
ANYWHERE WE COULD
NEVER GOT VERY MUCH PAY
TAKE THE MAN FOR WHAT YOU CAN
AND WE DID REAL GOOD
SO IF YOU DON’T MIND
I’LL SIT HERE AND PLUNK AWAY
AND THEN I’LL BE ON MY WAY
