"Broken Piano" lyrics

I don't know just how old I was, but when I was quite small
I found an old piano who no one played at all
I climbed the stool and tried the keys and soon I found a song
And oh I knew right then and there, here's where I belong

As long as I can keep on playing I'm happy as can be
Everybody said the piano's broken but it seems to play for me

This old piano's got 88 keys and six of them don't play
It's out of tune, but honky-tonk is better off that way
Hey, the color is a dusty rose and the whole front board is gone
So you can watch all the hammers dance as the music moves along

As long as I can keep on playing I'm happy as can be
Some might say the piano's broken but it seems to play for me
Yeah it plays like crazy for me

My granddad listened to me play and he began to smile
He played a fiddle too for me, we both played for a while
And when I had to leave he said, come back whenever you can
And ever since most everyday you'll find me there again

Right, fiddle, me
Yeah, jukebox, ragtime, honky-tonk, swing
We have a good time with everything

As long as we can keep on playing we're happy as can be
Everyone said the piano's broken but it plays for him and me

I don't know just how old I was, but when I was quite small
I found an old piano who no one played at all
The worn-out tag inside the back says 1923
Everybody said the piano is broken but it plays like crazy
Plays like crazy
Yeah, it plays like crazy for me
