When she plays the toy piano
     F
Woodland animals come round
    C
Little birds sit on her shoulder
     F
Wonderin' how she makes that sound


🎸 Verse 2:
     C
When she plays the toy piano
     F
With her arabesques and trills
    C
She's a wonder, we all love her
    F
But it doesn't pay the bills

🎸 Verse 3:

She should sell that toy piano
    F
Move to town and get a job
    C
Find a studio apartment
    F
Settle down and marry Bob

🎸 Verse 4:
     C
When one plays the toy piano
     F
It drowns out the slithering time
     C
But it's oozing up the stairs now
    F
And she hasn't got a dime

🎸 Verse 5:
     C
When she plays the toy piano

She is ransoming her youth
    C
Like a Ketamine addict
   F
In an isolation booth

🎸 Verse 6:
     C
When she plays the toy piano

When she makes her so-called art

She defiles her papa's tombstone
    F
She is breaking mama's heart
