When She Plays the Toy Piano

Lyrics

[Verse 1] When she plays the toy piano Woodland animals come round Little birds sit on her shoulder Wondering how she makes that sound [Verse 2] When she plays the toy piano With her arabesques and trills She's a wonder, we all love her But it doesn't pay the bills [Verse 3] She should sell that toy piano Move to town, and get a job Buy a studio apartment Settle down and marry Bob [Verse 4] When one plays the toy piano It drowns out the slithering time But it's oozing up the stairs now And she hasn't got a dime [Verse 5] When she plays the toy piano She is ransoming her youth Like a ketamine addict In an isolation booth [Verse 6] When she plays the toy piano When she makes her so-called art She defiles her papa's tombstone She is breaking mama's heart [Outro] She is breaking, breaking, breaking mama's heart She is breaking, breaking, breaking mama's heart She is breaking, breaking, breaking mama's heart She is breaking, breaking, breaking mama's heart
