Liberace I Love a Piano Irving Berlin Lyrics

Lyrics to "I Love a Piano" from the 1915 Broadway show

As a child I went wild when a band played
How I ran to the man when his hand swayed
Clarinets were my pets, and a slide trombone I thought was simply
Divine
But today when they play I could hiss them
Ev'ry bar is a jar to my system
But there's one musical instrument that I call mine

[chorus:]
I love a piano, I love a piano
I love to hear somebody play
Upon a piano, a grand piano
It simply carries me away

I know a fine way to treat a steinway
I love to run my fingers o'er the keys, the ivories

And with the pedal I love to meddle
When padarewski comes this way
I'm so delighted if I'm invited
To hear that long haired genius play

So you can keep your fiddle and your bow
Give me a p-i-a-n-o, oh, oh
I love to stop right beside an upright
Or a high toned baby grand

[2nd verse:]
When a green tetrazine starts to warble
I grow cold as an old piece of marble
I allude to the crude little party singer who don't know when to pause
At her best I detest the soprano
But I run to the one at the piano
I always love the accomp'niment and that's because


My playlists include music by Lee Liberace, Jon England, Richard Clayderman, Roger Williams, Hoagy Carmichael, Michel Legrand, Art Tatum, Dino Kartsonakis, Errol Garner, Russ Conway, Ferrante & Teicher, Carl Doy, Beegie Adair, Caravelli, Floyd Cramer, Geoff Love, Horst Jankowski, Ronnie Aldrich, Kent Marcum, Stanley Black, David Foster, Claude Bolling, Edison Valencia, and Marrina Waks. There are also many pieces by little known fantastic piano soloists, admired mainly by their YouTube fans. I am looking for videos of Bill Pursell, Felix Slatkin, George Shearing, John Arpin, Norm Geller, Charlie Schaffer, Norman Percival, and Gordon Franks. I would be amiss if I didn't have the greats Del Wood and JoAnn Castle on my page, however, they are only favorited, and not in the playlists as they don't match the genre of my page.

Magnificent Liberace who truly loved a Piano...Irving Berlin would have loved his arrangment of "I Love A Piano."

[grp9748]

love Liberace, always have and those pinao pics, wonderful

[gabbyfromTX]

I'm just blown away by this...But who could expect any less from the great Liberace? Wonderful arrangement of a great Irving Berlin tune! I love the 3/4 section especially.

[DonTheVoice]

This is one of my favorite songs, played no less by the master himself! One interesting sidenote -- the lyrics in the song mention the "Steinway" piano, and when Liberace lent his name to the Baldwin company, they wouldn't let him play this song!
