Chopsticks
Peter Combe

[This isn't "Chopsticks", it's *about* "Chopsticks". Where it says "Bridge", play a little bit of actual "Chopsticks".]

I play the violin every morning and every evening of every day,
Suzuki, Bach, Vivaldi, Schuman, but really all that I want is to play

(Bridge)

I play the grand piano, practice my chords and scales and arpeggios.
So boring, and it drives my family up the wall. Dad says, why don't you play

(Bridge)

I play the flute, the silver flute, but it doesn't sound much like James Galway.
I wonder if, when he was ten, whether sometimes he was allowed to play

(Bridge)

I'd really love to sing a classical song or two at the Opera House
And sound like Pavarotti, la la la la la la, la la la la la

(Bridge) x 2

Repeat 1st stanza, repeat 4th stanza, bridge.

Recording here.
