Try It On Your Piano 1910

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 20 Apr 2005

Benjamin Manner played a grand piano,
and he cert'nly played it fine;
Played the piano all the time,
like a reg'lar Rubinstein.
Sunday he called around to see Miss Lucy Brown
and said: "My darling pet,
I have found a new way to make love
that hasn't been discovered yet,
won't you let me show you how?"
But Miss Lucy cried: "Not now!"

"Try it on your piano grand,
I don't care to understand,
B or I flat,
C or Y flat,
Try it Hon' but not in my flat.
While I don't doubt that what you say, is true,
I'm not taking chances with some love that's new,
so Mister Manner,
try it on your piano,
but you can't try it on me."

"Try it on your piano grand,
I don't care to understand,
B or I flat,
C or Y flat,
Try it Hon' but not in my flat.
Give me Per Una for my ev'ry pain,
for he who takes that will live to take again
so try your brand up on a baby grand,
because you can't try it on me."

Benjamin Manner sold his grand piano,
and became a doctor fair;
one who cures your pain and care,
he was known most ev'rywhere.
Lucy took sick one day
he called around to say:
"I've brought with me a pill,
it's a new discov'ry of my own
that surely ought to cure or kill,
it has never yet been tried,"
But Miss Lucy loudly cried:

"Try it on your piano grand,
I don't care to understand,
B or I flat,
C or Y flat,
Try it Hon' but not in my flat.
While I don't doubt that what you say, is true,
I'm not taking chances with some love that's new,
so Mister Manner,
try it on your piano,
but you can't try it on me."

"Try it on your piano grand,
I don't care to understand,
B or I flat,
C or Y flat,
Try it Hon' but not in my flat.
Give me Per Una for my ev'ry pain,
for he who takes that will live to take again
so try your brand up on a baby grand,
because you can't try it on me."
