I like to tinkle on an old piana I like to play it in a subtle mannah I get a lot of pleasure With a spano' keys Underneath my finger tips Tricklin' off o' my lips A handful of keys And a song to sing Now how could you ask for more? Than ticklin' the ivory Singin' jive I repeat what I said before I like to sing a little tune that's mellah I like to vocalize There's nothin' swellah I love to have a supple melody Just tricklin' off o' my lips A handful of keys And a song to sing Now how could you ask for more? Than ticklin' the ivory Singin' jive I repeat what I said before I like to tinkle on an old piana I like to play it in a subtle mannah I know I'll always be the top banana With a handful of keys
