GerryM Songs about musical Instruments (100* d) ADD: Chopsticks (Peter Combe) 26 Oct 25


Peter Combe wrote a song incorporating the old piano favorite, Chopsticks (which is also the name he gave to his song). Where I write xxx it means insert the piano piece.

CHOPSTICKS
(Peter Combe)

I play the violin every morning
And every evening of every day
Suzuki, Bach, Vivaldi, Schumann
But really all that I want to play is
xxx

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?"
xxx

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
xxx

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 la
xxx

(Repeat 1st and 4th verses)
