Everybody always asks me  How I got to play so fine  And friends, I'm gonna tell ya  It really did take some time  Yes, after years and years of practice  And a case of real bad knees  Whil the other guys were out playin' with the football  I was home bangin' on the keys  And it got me  Right were I am, this is me  Playing the piano  I hope ya like what I do  It's for you, and I'll try and sing right too  I guess I'm really very lucky  That I've got this thing to play  'Cause it can really make me feel good  Even when it's cloudy and grey  Yes, after years and years of practice  And awful allergies that made me sneeze  And now the other guys are out playin' with their girlfriends  And I was still bangin' on the keys  And it got me  Right where I am, this is me  Playing the piano  I hope ya like what I do  It's for you  And I'll try and sing right too
