I Love A Piano Lyrics - Mtv Unplugged: Tony Bennett - Tony Bennett

As a child I went wild when a band played 

How I ran to the man when his hand swayed 

Clarinets were my pets and a slide trombone I thought was simply divine 

But today when they play, I could hiss them 

Every bar is a jar to my system 

But there's one musical instrument that I call mine 

I love a piano, I love a piano 

I love to hear somebody play 

Upon a piano, a grand piano 

It simply carries me away

From MetroLyrics to You: Our Classic Christmas Playlist 

I know a fine way to treat a Steinway 

I love to run my fingers o'er the keys, the ivories 

And with the pedal I love to meddle 

When Padarewski comes this way 

I'm so delighted if I'm invited 

To hear that long haired genius play 

So you can keep your fiddle and your bow 

Give me a P I A N O, oh, oh 

I love to stop right beside an upright 

Or a high toned Baby Grand 

When a green Tetrazine starts to warble 

I grow cold as an old piece of marble 

I allude to the crude little party singer 

Who don't know when to pause

At her best I detest the soprano 

But I run to the one at the piano 

I always love the accomp'niment and that's because 

Not only music from Broadway 

I'm so delighted if I'm invited 

To hear a long haired genius play
