| I gotta move.
|
| I gotta move.
|
| That’s what I tell my landlord, landlord!
|
| I gotta move!
|
| Cause there’s a man lives right upstairs from me
|
| Making a nightmare of some melody.
|
| This is a situation not likely to improve.
|
| He goes a' rumble rumble rumble on the left hand.
|
| He goes a' tinkle tinkle tinkle on the right.
|
| Rumble rumble rumble,
|
| tinkle tinkle tinkle
|
| Plays piano all night!
|
| He goes a' rumble rumble rumble on the bottom.
|
| He goes a' tinkle tinkle tinkle on the top.
|
| Rumble rumble rumble,
|
| Tinkle tinkle tinkle
|
| Positively won’t stop!
|
| I tried a' knocking knocking knocking on the ceiling.
|
| I tried a' knocking knocking knocking on the wall.
|
| He takes a breather-
|
| No he doesn’t either!
|
| Just when I figured that’s all
|
| He goes a' rumble rumble rumble on the black keys.
|
| He goes a' tinkle tinkle tinkle on the white.
|
| Rumble rumble rumble,
|
| Tinkle tinkle tinkle,
|
| Plays piano all right,
|
| But he plays piano all night!
|
| Instead of cooking himself a fine kettle of tea up there
|
| Or maybe getting himself a girl and taking her out somewhere,
|
| Instead of sitting around, reading the jokes, washing his socks,
|
| writing his folks, taking his pills, sleeping the night through,
|
| What does he do?
|
| What does he do?!?
|
| He goes a' rumble rumble rumble
|
| Look at the whole building crumble!
|
| Tinkle tinkle tinkle
|
| Look at the wallpaper wrinkle!
|
| Rumble rumble rumble,
|
| Tinkle tinkle tinkle,
|
| He could give insomnia to Rip Van Winkle!
|
| With his rumble rumble rumble
|
| I’ve got a good right to grumble!
|
| Tinkle tinkle tinkle
|
| I’m going to reach for the… stop it, will you?
|
| Rumble, tinkle,
|
| PLEASE somebody break his lease!
|
| I tried to hammer hammer hammer on the steampipe.
|
| I tried to hollar hollar hollar down the hall.
|
| I got a feeling
|
| He’ll come through the ceiling
|
| With the piano and all.
|
| He goes a' pummling pummling pummling with his left hand.
|
| He goes groove groove grooving with his right.
|
| A' pummling and groove, pummling and groove, pummling groove
|
| Pummling till he gets it right.
|
| Then he plays piano
|
| Plays piano all night! |
