I was sitting at my piano, the other day |
|
But my mind was ill at ease |
|
They were coming to take it away that afternoon |
|
I was all by myself in a mellow mood |
|
Improvising symphonies |
|
My right hand was playing Mozart's minuet |
|
And at the same time my left hand was playing; have a banana; from Carmen |
|
And at the same time my mouth was whistling a sextet from Luicini |
|
And at the same time What do you think my foot was doing? |
|
While keeping time it was cracking walnuts; see I had to eat too. |
|
Then in the midst of all soliloquy |
|
I found it, I found it |
|
The Lost Chord, The Lost Chord! |
|
So let's celebrate I'm feeling great |
|
I'm the guy that found the Lost chord |
|
I'll have my name in the hall of fame; cos I went and found that lost chord |
|
Everyone knows Tchaikovsky wasn't recognised for 300 years |
|
Brahms wasn't recognised for 400 years |
|
Beethoven wasn't recognised for 500 years |
|
But I can't wait that long I've only got two changes of clothes! |
|
People said I was mad. but that didn't trouble me |
|
They said Mozart was mad |
|
They said Puccini was mad |
|
They said Louis was mad |
|
Who's Louis? My uncle, he was mad! |
|
So let's celebrate I'm feeling great |
|
I'm the guy that found the Lost chord |
|
You know it wasn't easy finding that Lost chord |
|
Working in my attic I didn't sleep for days and days |
|
I'd be in terrible shape if I hadn't slept nights! |
|
First I put an A flat with a B minor |
|
Then I put a B minor with and F major |
|
Then I put and F minor with a B major |
|
Then I tried an A and a B and a B and a C |
|
And a C and a D and a D and E and an E and a F |
|
And a F and a G; What a piano no apostrophe's ! |
|
And this is what I came up with (plays wrong chord) |
|
What's happened that isn't the chord (plays wrong chord) |
|
Neither is that (plays wrong chord) |
|
Neither is that (plays wrong chord) |
|
And neither is that! I lost the chord a catatstrophe |
|
I'm gonna sit down on the keyboard of this piano until the chord is return |
|
(sits down bum plays the right chord) |
|
That's it the lost chord! I found it, I found by sitting on the piano keyboard |
|
Strange I usually play by ear! |
|
So let's celebrate I'm feeling great |
|
I'm the guy that found the Lost chord |
