When I was a little girl I wanted to be a soprano
But my mother said, "My dear, you've got to practice your piano
No soprano's in demand but a piano's always grand
And grand pianos in a band make money, darling"
And so each afternoon when I come home from school
I practice like a bloody fool
You can't imagine all the awful things I play
I could never see a friend
I'd have to practice without end
And as the time was dripping by
I watched the clock without denial
I look out the window at the sky
I wished so fervently that I could go outside and play
Instead of wasting every day learning something that
Without a doubt I could have really done without
It was such a bore
And I could hear the boy next door was having fun
And that was something that I'd really never done
When I was a little girl I wanted to be a soprano
But I had to sit and practice on my rotten old piano
Playing major scales and than I played the minors once again
Now up and down the keys I play and out of these
I play a third, do other exercises, never any new surprises
Girl you keep your fingers wrong, what a sound
All I wanted was to sing and not to make the rafters ring
With my old piano, practicing I would have broke my back
I sing, but hated every minute of the keyboard I devote
That is why today I'm a soprano, but the sight of a piano
Makes me shot before I cannot play a note, oh
But my mother said, "My dear, you've got to practice your piano
No soprano's in demand but a piano's always grand
And grand pianos in a band make money, darling"
And so each afternoon when I come home from school
I practice like a bloody fool
You can't imagine all the awful things I play
I could never see a friend
I'd have to practice without end
And as the time was dripping by
I watched the clock without denial
I look out the window at the sky
I wished so fervently that I could go outside and play
Instead of wasting every day learning something that
Without a doubt I could have really done without
It was such a bore
And I could hear the boy next door was having fun
And that was something that I'd really never done
When I was a little girl I wanted to be a soprano
But I had to sit and practice on my rotten old piano
Playing major scales and than I played the minors once again
Now up and down the keys I play and out of these
I play a third, do other exercises, never any new surprises
Girl you keep your fingers wrong, what a sound
All I wanted was to sing and not to make the rafters ring
With my old piano, practicing I would have broke my back
I sing, but hated every minute of the keyboard I devote
That is why today I'm a soprano, but the sight of a piano
Makes me shot before I cannot play a note, oh
