Lyrics
[Chorus]
Love is called
My old piano
I have a ball
With my old piano
[Verse 1]
My baby entertains
The real life of my parties
But still retains
In all the dignity
His international style
Exudes an air of royalty
His eighty-eight key smile
Is so pleasant to see
[Chorus]
Love is called
My old piano
I have a ball
With my old piano
[PreChorus]
My old keyboard
Won't stand for a corner
He demands, the middle of the room
Your heart dissolves
While he tips you so gracefully
Till you're involved
In a baby grand affair
[Chorus]
Love is called
My old piano
I have a ball
With my old piano
[Chorus]
Love is called
My old piano
I have a ball
With my old piano
[Verse 2]
He entertains
The real life of my parties
But still retains
In all the dignity
His international style
Exudes an air of royalty
His eighty-eight key smile
Is so pleasant to see
[PreChorus]
My old keyboard
Won't stand for a corner
He demands, the middle of the room
Your heart dissolves
While he tips you so gracefully
Till you're involved
In a baby grand affair
[Chorus]
Love is called
My old piano
I have a ball
With my old piano
[Chorus]
Love is called
My old piano
I have a ball
With my old piano
