How I got to play so fine
 And friends, I'm gonna tell ya
 It really did take some time

 Yes, after years and years of practice
 And a case of real bad knees
 Whil the other guys were out playin' with the football
 I was home bangin' on the keys
 And it got me

 Right were I am, this is me
 Playing the piano
 I hope ya like what I do
 It's for you, and I'll try and sing right too

 I guess I'm really very lucky
 That I've got this thing to play
 'Cause it can really make me feel good
 Even when it's cloudy and grey

 Yes, after years and years of practice
 And awful allergies that made me sneeze
 And now the other guys are out playin' with their girlfriends
 And I was still bangin' on the keys
 And it got me

 Right where I am, this is me
 Playing the piano
 I hope ya like what I do
 It's for you
 And I'll try and sing right too
