Lyrics and Music by Fats Waller<br>

<br>

I like to tinkle on an old piana.<br>

I like to play it in a subtle mannah.<br>

I get a lot o' pleasure<br>

With a spano' keys <br>

Underneath my finger tips.<br>

Tricklin' off o' my lips.<br>

A handful o' keys <br>

And a song to sing,<br>

Now how could you ask for more?<br>

Than ticklin' the ivory,<br>

Singin' jive,<br>

I repeat what I said before.<br>

<br>

I like to sing a little tune that's mellah.<br>

I like to vocalize,<br>

There's nothin' swellah.<br>

I love to have a supple melody <br>

Just tricklin' off o' my lips.<br>

A handful o' keys <br>

And a song to sing,<br>

Now how could you ask for more?<br>

Than ticklin' the ivory,<br>

Singin' jive,<br>

I repeat what I said before.<br>

<br>

I like to tinkle on an old piana.<br>

I like to play it in a subtle mannah.<br>

I know I'll always be the top banana<br>

With a handful o' keys<br>

<br>
