THE PIANO.
There is a girl down in our neigh
borhood
never was good.
The clatter and ring of the old tin
thing
Is only worse when she tries TO
sing
Pinkety, pinkety. pinkety pong.
Hear her murder popular song.
Pinkety, pinkety, pinkety pong.
Thus she rambles all the day long.
Now this little maid that we write
ABOUT,
Thinks to sing one simply has to
shout.
So all through the day she is pound
ing away
And yelling out loud as she'll play.
CHORUS.
PinketX, pinkety. pinkety pong.
Hear her murder a popular song.
Pinkety pinkety. pinkety pong,
Thus she rambles and rambles
along.
Now, we are mild hammered,
harmless young man,
And we always try to live our life
as best we can.
And up 10 the writing we have done
little wrong.
But admit we feel like murder
when we hear her song.
