Lyrics

It's me against the piano, why do I have to practice?

I'd rather play the radio, I'd rather sit on cactus

It's me versus the piano, I hope it doesn't trouble you

I'd rather go play baseball, I'd rather play with D.W.!

Chorus:

Practicing is just the same thing

Over and over and over and over

Practicing is the just the same thing

Over and over and over and over

Chopsticks, they call this tune

I'd rather use a spoon

I'd like to boil it in grease, this piece!

(chorus)

The Happy Farmer is happy 'cause

He knows he's growing beets and greens and squash

and not some pianos!

Do is dough - It's uncooked bread

Re like in raygun - that turns you to a nerd

Mi as in mean, and meaningless too

Fa, what is fa? It isn't even a word!

So, as in, "So what?"

La, like in "Blah!", it's a big fat yawn!

Ti, is like tea, which is old boiled leaves!

And Do, more do, it goes on and on and on and on and on!

I don't like the piano, I'm sorry Mr. Bach!

I should be reading music, not just staring at the clock!

(chorus)
