When You Play That Piano, Bill! 1910

Said Miss Eliza Johnson to William Brown:
"Up to my home you I invite,
Call around some Sunday night,
I'd love to have you play my piano upright."
Said Mister William Brown: "The pleasure is mine,
I can assure you lady fair."
He called around next day,
and started in to play,
just too hear Eliza declare.

When I hear you play that piano so sweet,
my blood runs cold way down to my feet,
you sure do bring forth music
like I never heard before.
When you start in tearing rag by the streak
I could hear you play that box for a week,
for it does most anything but speak,
when you play that piano, Bill.

When I hear you play that piano so sweet,
my blood runs cold way down to my feet,
you sure do bring forth music
like I never heard before.
When you start in tearing rag by the streak
I could hear you play that box for a week,
for it does most anything but speak,
when you play that piano, Bill.

Said Mister William Brown:
"I can't help but blush, because Miss Lize,
you flatter so, I only play the worst I know,
while at my best to beat me so they must go,
then Miss Eliza answered: "What's that you say?
You only played the worst you knew!
Sweet William, I can guess how you play at your best,
but the worst right now will do."

When I hear you play that piano so sweet,
my blood runs cold way down to my feet,
you sure do bring forth music
like I never heard before.
When you start in tearing rag by the streak
I could hear you play that box for a week,
for it does most anything but speak,
when you play that piano, Bill.

When I hear you play that piano so sweet,
my blood runs cold way down to my feet,
you sure do bring forth music
like I never heard before.
When you start in tearing rag by the streak
I could hear you play that box for a week,
for it does most anything but speak,
when you play that piano, Bill.
