         C
[tab]         F
Woodland animals come round

        C
Little birds sit on her shoulder

          F
Wonderin' how she makes that sound

         C
When she plays the toy piano

         F
With her arabesques and trills

        C
She's a wonder, we all love her

       F
But it doesn't pay the bills

           C
She should sell that toy piano

        F
Move to town and get a job

       C
Find a studio apartment

       F
Settle down and marry Bob

         C
When one plays the toy piano

          F
It drowns out the slithering time

         C
But it's oozing up the stairs now

        F
And she hasn't got a dime

         C
When she plays the toy piano

       F
She is ransoming her youth

       C
Like a Ketamine addict

      F
In an isolation booth

         C
When she plays the toy piano

         F
When she makes her so-called art

         C
She defiles her papa's tombstone

       F
She is breaking mama's heart

       C                                   F
She is breaking, breaking, breaking mama's heart

       C                                   F
She is breaking, breaking, breaking mama's heart

       C                                   F
She is breaking, breaking, breaking mama's heart

       C                                   F
She is breaking, breaking, breaking mama's heart
