Lyrics
I am the Music Man.

I come from down your way.

And I can play.

What can you play?

I play the piano.

Pia-pia-piano,

piano, piano,

pia-pia-piano,

pia-piano.

I am the Music Man.

I come from down your way.

And I can play.

What can you play?

I play this wooden guitar.

Dinga-dinga-dinga-ding,

dinga-ding, dinga-ding,

dinga-dinga-dinga-ding,

dinga-dinga-ding.

Pia-pia-piano,

piano, piano,

pia-pia-piano,

pia-piano.

I am the Music Man.

I come from down your way.

And I can play.

What can you play?

I play my long grey trunk.

(spoken) Your long grey trunk?

(spoken) Yes, I can play it as an instrument.

Upa-upa-upa-pa,

upa-pa, upa-pa,

upa-upa-upa-pa,

upa-upa-pa.

Dinga-dinga-dinga-ding,

dinga-ding, dinga-ding,

dinga-dinga-dinga-ding,

dinga-dinga-ding.

Pia-pia-piano,

piano, piano,

pia-pia-piano,

I am the Music Man.

I come from down your way.

And I can play.

What can you play?

I play the snare drum.

Rum-a-tum-tum-rum-a-tum,

rum-a-tum-tum-rum-a-tum,

rum-a-tum-tum.

Upa-upa-upa-pa,

Dinga-dinga-dinga-ding,
