[Chorus]
Boom-boom, bang-o
I thump on the piano
And I hum
Hey diddle dee dum
Boom-boom, bang-o
I thump on the piano
Boom boom boom
Throughout every room
And then my crazy music
Through the window flies
Greets the sunny skies
'Way with sorrow
[Chorus]
Boom-boom, bang-o
I thump on the piano
Sharp and a flat
Right out of my hat
Boom-boom, bang-o
I thump on the piano
And I strum
Because of someone
Who sleeps and sleeps and perhaps
Would sleep the whole day long
[Post-Chorus]
Every morning without a word of warning
Every morning without a word of warning
Crazy notion, impudent trick!
What a day, wake up, quick
[Verse 1]
Black and white keyboard to thump on
And who would be immune?
Poor man, I hope his nerves are strong
The piano's out of tune
[Verse 2]
Black and white keyboard to thump on
The notes all run amok
Major and a minor, screwy song!
He must have nerves like rock
[Chorus]
Boom-boom, bang-o
I thump on the piano
And I hum
Hey diddle dee dum
Boom-boom, bang-o
I thump on the piano
Sharp and a flat
And what′s wrong with that?
But the poor keyboard at its
Treatment groans and sighs
Time just flies and flies
Every morning
[Chorus]
Boom-boom, bang-o
I thump on the piano
Boom boom boom
Throughout every room
Boom-boom, bang-o
I thump on the piano
And I strum
Because of someone
Who sleeps and sleeps
And shows no interest in me
[Post-Chorus]
Every morning without a word of warning
Every morning without a word of warning
How can I stop? It's really too soon
Get up before it's noon
[Bridge]
Boom-boom, bang-o
I thump on the piano
Boom-boom, bang-o
I thump on the piano
[Verse 3]
The Ninth and the Fifth by Beethoven
Have no effect on him
Wonder what he′s doing over there
He doesn′t move a limb
[Verse 4]
Lehar means nothing at all to him
The walls are much too thick
Better play some Wagner, Lohengrin
That will perhaps do the trick
[Chorus]
Boom-boom, bang-o
I thump on the piano
And I hum
Hey diddle dee dum
Boom-boom, bang-o
I thump on the piano
And I strum
Because of someone
Why does he sleep
And show no Interest in me?
[Post-Chorus/Outro]
Why each morning without a word of warning
Why each morning without a word of warning
That wild creature, take him away
Lock him up else I'd waste the whole day
I′ve had enough now - hey!
