When I was just a lad of ten, Skip Newton said to me,
“Come o’er to my death bed and take a lesson now from me.
Don’t sit beneath the Piano tree,” Skip Newton said to me,
“A thing called Gravity is forceful in the Piano Tree.”
P’yanno Tree, very pretty, and the Piano flower is sweet,
But the fruit of the piano, has a really heavy beat.
P’yanno Tree, very pretty, and the Piano flower is sweet,
But the fruit of the piano, has a really heavy beat.
One day beneath the P’yanno tree, my love and I did lie
A girl so sweet that when she smiled the stars rose in the sky.
We passed that summer lost in love beneath the P’yanno tree
The music of her laughter hid Skip Newton’s words from me:
P’yanno Tree, very pretty, and the Piano flower is sweet,
But the fruit of the piano, has a really heavy beat.
P’yanno Tree, very pretty, and the Piano flower is sweet,
But the fruit of the piano, has a really heavy beat.
One day she left without a word. She took away the dawn.
I looked around but never found out where to she had gone,
Until I looked under the fruit, and found her corpse, tis true,
A sadder man but wiser now I sing these words to you:
P’yanno Tree, very pretty, and the Piano flower is sweet,
But the fruit of the piano, has a really heavy beat.
P’yanno Tree, very pretty, and the Piano flower is sweet,
But the fruit of the piano, has a really heavy beat.

What was Skip’s son’s name, Baby Grand? Skip’s last words were probably, “Oh, fig.”

Even though it’s producing grand pianos, the tree is upright.

However, paying attention to his surroundings was not his forte.

He found out how much a Steinway. He didn’t need to use the scales.

Skip never had his mind on music before they made a big impression on him.

Come on, people. Everybody knows pianos don’t grow on trees; they come from spaghetti, oops, I mean PIANO MINES.

Penguins love to roost in spaghetti trees.
