The Lyrics
Ply me with a tune
And I will play several bars
Set to C, ’cause I don’t like
To use ebonies. . .too hard!
In other words: hold my hands
Above the thirds straight ivory.
Simpler is a song
That has been written in 4/4.
Less chance I’ll go wrong; sore
Am I with difficult scores.
The humbler thirds, what I do—
No somber thirds with black hue.
Simpler is a song
Devoid of grace notes galore
Less chance I’ll go wrong; sore
Am I with offbeat décor.
In other words, I will rue
If minor thirds should ensue.
And I will play several bars
Set to C, ’cause I don’t like
To use ebonies. . .too hard!
In other words: hold my hands
Above the thirds straight ivory.
Simpler is a song
That has been written in 4/4.
Less chance I’ll go wrong; sore
Am I with difficult scores.
The humbler thirds, what I do—
No somber thirds with black hue.
Simpler is a song
Devoid of grace notes galore
Less chance I’ll go wrong; sore
Am I with offbeat décor.
In other words, I will rue
If minor thirds should ensue.
