VERSATILE MUSIC MAN

 

My dad is a versatile music man

If anyone can play it then he can

He’s been seen playing the cello

In a hotel lounge in Portabello

Playing inprov jazz on tenor sax

For beer money on a street in Halifax

Even making a tune on a synthesizer

While drinking Irn bru and tizer

He’s very often been known to jam

In a seedy club in Amsterdam

Bash a tune out on the old Joanna

Down by the beach in copacabana

And strumming on guitar or banjo

For the businessmen of Tokyo

He’ll get a note out of a flugel horn

On the icy slopes of the Matterhorn

He’ll play anything from harmonica

To the clarinet euphonium or tuba

Double base trumpet or trombone

Triangle glockenspiel or xylophone

But my dad the versatile music man

Will never play the piano accordion
