That Old Piano Roll Lyrics by Harry Groener, Lynnette Perry

Unsung Sondheim

0

[Verse 1: Harry Groener]
Listen to that old piano roll play
When I hear that old piano roll play
I just gotta dance
And what I mean is dance with you
[Verse 2: Harry Groener]
Doesn't matter what I'm doin' or where—
When that ragtime rhythm tickles the air
I go in a trance
I only wanna dance
With you
[Bridge: Harry Groener]
Baby, baby
Come on along
Come on and dance
And maybe
By the time you get a load o'
That super-syncopated coda
[Verse 3: Harry Groener]
You'll say, "I think that old piano roll's nice"
Then we'll play that old piano roll twice
Come on, take a chance—
I only wanna dance
With you
[Interlude: Lynnette Perry]
There's a honky-tonk down the street
Nothin' more than a dive
They got somethin', though, can't be beat
Somеthin' really alive
They got this playеr piano
It's nothin' but a piano
Yeah-bo, but what a piano—
The only tune that it has is jazz!
It's just a mini-piano
A tiny, tinny piano
But folks from every city, town and ghetto
Adore that ad lib allegretto
[Verse 4: Lynnette Perry]
Just listen to that old piano roll play!
I could hear that old piano all day
I just wanna dance
And what I mean is dance
With you
[Verse 5: Harry Groener & Lynnette Perry]
Makes no difference, sunny weather or rain
When that ragtime rhythm reaches my brain
I know in advance
I'm gonna wanna dance
With you
[Bridge: Harry Groener & Lynnette Perry]
Baby, baby
Kick out the blues
Kick off your shoes
And maybe
That sympathetic syncopation'll
Prove to be so inspirational
[Verse 6: Harry Groener, Lynnette Perry, Harry Groener & Lynnette Perry]
We won't let that old piano roll stop
We won't let that old piano roll stop
We'll keep droppin' nickels in till we drop
We'll keep droppin' nickels in till we drop
I don't want romance
I only wanna dance
With—
[Outro: Harry Groener & Lynnette Perry]
I just wanna–
I just gotta–
I just wanna—
I just gotta–
I just wanna—
Dance!
