Boom boom bang-o I thump on the piano
And I hum hey diddle dee dum
Boom boom bang-o I thump on the piano
Boom boom boom throughout every room
And then my crazy music through the window flies
Greets the sunny skies 'way with sorrow

Boom boom bang-o I thump on the piano
Sharp and a flat right out of my hat
Boom boom bang-o I thump on the piano
And I strum because of someone
Who sleeps and sleeps and perhaps would sleep the whole day long
Every morning without a word of warning
Every morning without a word of warning
Crazy notion, impudent trick, what a day, wake up, quick!

Black and white keyboard to thump on
And who would be immune
Poor man, I hope his nerves are strong
The piano's out of tune
Black and white keyboard to thump on
The notes all run amok
Major and a minor, screwy song
He must have nerves like rock

Boom boom bang-o I thump on the piano
And I hum hey diddle dee dum
Boom boom bang-o I thump on the piano
Sharp and a flat and what's wrong with that?
But the poor keyboard at its treatment groans and sighs
Time just flies and flies every morning

Boom boom bang-o I thump on the piano
Boom boom boom throughout every room
Boom boom bang-o I thump on the piano
And I strum because of someone
Who sleeps and sleeps and shows no interest in me
Every morning without a word of warning
Every morning without a word of warning
How can I stop? It's really too soon, get up before it's noon!

(Boom boom bang-o I thump on the piano
Boom boom bang-o I thump on the piano)

The Ninth and the Fifth by Beethoven have no effect on him
Wonder what he's doing over there, he doesn't move a limb

Lehar means nothing at all to him, the walls are much too thick
Better play some Wagner, Lohengrin, that will perhaps do the trick!

Boom boom bang-o I thump on the piano
And I hum hey diddle dee dum
Boom boom bang-o I thump on the piano
And I strum because of someone
Why does he sleep and show no interest in me?
Why each morning without a word of warning
Why each morning without a word of warning
That wild creature, take him away, lock him up else I'd waste the whole day
I've had enough now - hey!
