I’m The Guy Who Found The Lost Chord |
| 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 |
