Verse1:Rag-time Joe played an old pianoin a honky tonky cafe,
When anyone requested a brand new tune,
Here's what rag-time Joe would say:
Chorus:There'll be no new tunes on this old piano,
This old piano of mine.
Verse2:There'll be no boogie woogie,
Or none of that jazz.
Or any other kind of a razzamataz.
I'll sing about Swanee,
The old folks at home,
The wide open spaces where the buffalo roam,
Chorus:...
Verse3:But let me play Sweet Adeline,my Adeline.
And Aura Lee,Aura Lee,
Maid of Golden Hair.
She's only a bird in a gilded cage,
A beautiful sight to see, too se.
Chorus:...
There's "Hello my Baby" and "Time after Time",
"Sweet Rosie O' Grady" and "Mammy O' Mine"
I'll play the old songs for you any old time,
On this old piano of mine!
