| 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 |
