I Love a Piano - Snooky Ookums - When the Midnight Choo Choo Leaves for Alabam’

Lyrics

[HANNAH] I love the piano, I love the piano I love to hear somebody play Upon a piano, a grand piano It simply carries me away I know a fine way to treat a Steinway I love to run my fingers o'er the keys, the ivories And with the pedal I love to meddle When Paderewski comes this way I'm so delighted if I'm invited To hear the long-haired genius play So, you can keep your fiddle and your bow Give me a p-i-a-n-o, oh, oh I love to stop right beside an upright Or a high-toned baby grand [INSTRUMENTAL] [HANNAH & DON] All night long hе calls her snooky ookums, snooky ookums All they do is talk like babiеs [HANNAH] She's his jelly-elly roll [DON] He's her sugey-ugar bowl [HANNAH & DON] Here's the way they bill and cool, poogywoo, poogywoo? All night long he calls her snooky ookums, snooky ookums All night long the neighbors shout "Cut it out! Cut it out! Cut it out!" They cry, "For goodness sake Don't keep us all awake With your snooky, ooky, ooky , baby talk!" [INSTRUMENTAL] [HANNAH] When the midnight choo choo leaves for Alabam' [DON] Alabam', Alabam' [HANNAH] I'll be right there [DON] Where you'll be? Where you'll be? [HANNAH] I've got my fare [DON] Show it to me, show it to me [HANNAH] When I see that rusty-haired conductor man [DON] What'll you do? What'll you do? [HANNAH] I'll grab him by the collar, and I'll holler "Alabam! Alabam!" [DON] Wow! [HANNAH] That's where you stop your train That brings me back again Down home where I'll remain Where my honey land am [HANNAH & DON] I will be right there with bells When that old conductor yells "All aboard for Alabam'"
