The Old Piano Roll Blues
Liberace Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

e kiss a-kiss a-kiss a-kiss away all our cares,
The player piano plays that good old razz-a-ma-tazz
I wanna hear it again, I wanna hear it again,
The Old Piano Roll Blues

They're the best I've ever heard,
When they play the ragtime jazz,
It makes me wanna cuddle, I wanna honey puddle,
I wanna say "skiddy-woo" and "razz-a-ma-tazz"
It's that ever-lovin' old piano roll
I get a funny feelin' down in my soul
So keep on syncopatin', while I keep palpatatin'
That old piano roll blues

I wanna hear it again, I wanna hear it again,
The Old Piano Roll Blues
Sittin' at an upright, my sweetie and me,
We're pushin' on the pedals singin' sweet harmony
I wanna hear it again, the rinkety-tink,
We cuddle closer it seems
We kiss a-kiss a-kiss a-kiss away all our cares,
The player piano plays that good old razz-a-ma-tazz
I wanna hear it again, I wanna hear it again,




The Old Piano Roll Blues, you'd better believe it,
The Old Piano Roll Blues

There's nothing in the way of style, technique and quality that this man fell short of, only he himself would be aware of any. ๐Ÿ˜Ž

I know right he was a sweet man too. My friends dont like him but I dont care lol I found him extremely attractive too and they find that weird too. Oh well guess they dont have good tastes lol

BirdYoumans

It would be interesting to know how many pieces he learned in his lifetime. And at such a high level. He brings so much energy to each performance. And then of course, there's the smile.

Shirley Chavez

It makes my heart sing when I watch and hear him playing

Wladziu Liberace was arguably to the piano what Buddy Rich was to the drums. One of the absolute masters!

I love that comparison! Two of my all time favorites, both musical prodigies of immense talent and technical mastery, and both understood the importance of showmanship!

ElseMorris

Just look how much fun he's having! It's impossible not to smile at his amazing warmth and talent. What a master of the keyboard!
