When i was a little girl i wanted to be a soprano

But my mother said my dear you've got to practice you piano

No soprano's in to man but a piano's always grand

And grand pianos in a band make money darling

And so each afternoon when i come home from school

I practice like a bloody fool

You can't imagine all the awful things i play

I could never see a friend

I'd have to practice without end

And as the time was dripping by

I watched the clock without denial

I got the window on the sky

I wished so tearfully that i

Could come outside and play

Instead of wasting every day

Of learning something that

Without a doubt

I could have really done without

It was such a bore

And i could here the boy next door was having fun

And that was something that i'd really never done



When i was a little girl i wanted to be a soprano

But i had to sit and practice on my rotten old piano

Playing major scales and than i played the minors once again

Now up and down the keys i play and out of these

I play a tirade of all the exercises

Never any new surprises

Girl you keep your fingers wrong

What a sound

All i wanted was to sing

And not to make the raftest ring

With my old piano

Practicing i would have popped my back

I sing, i hated every minute of the keyboard i devote

That is why today i'm a soprano, but the sight of a piano

Makes me shot before i can not play a note
