| Lyrics: | 1st verse:]
Said Miss Eliza Johnson to William Brown
"Up to my home you I invite
Call
around some Sunday night
I'd love to have you play my piano upright"
Said Mister William
Brown, "The pleasure is mine
I can assure you lady fair"
He called around next
day
And started in to play
Just to hear Eliza declare
[chorus:]
When I
hear you play that piano so sweet
My blood runs cold way down to my feet
You sure do bring
forth music
Like I never heard before
When you start in playing rag by the streak
I
could hear you play that box for a week
For it does most anything but speak
When you play
that piano, Bill
[2nd verse:]
Said Mister William Brown, "I can't help but
blush
Because Miss Lize you flatter so
I only play the worst I know
While at my best
to beat me so it must go"
Then Miss Eliza answered, "What's that you say?
You only played
the worst you knew!
Sweet William, I can guess how you play at your best
But the worst
right now will do |
