SINGER
Look at him there, my piano man.
My partner through every ballad.
Our relationship’s strictly professional, but
When I sing with him, all the love songs are valid.
My heart melts, just hearing him play,
But I can’t ever say what I mean;
There’s always a piano in between.
No pianist can improve
On the way he plays that groove.
Look at how his fingers move!
Oh, to be a key!
I would be his sharp or flat,
If he’d tickle me like that…
But hold it in…oo…
I think I love him!
Keeping this a secret is hell.
Oo…
Oh God, I love him!
Passionately, sing, but don’t tell.
When I want to talk, he vamps,
When I’m singin’ soft, he damps,
And the boy don’t need no amps,
When it’s time for the climax!
He always follows me,
All the way from C to D to E to F…
Holy F! I definitely love him-
Feelings that I have to dispel.
Oo…
Stay professional!
Long for him, and sing, but don’t tell.
I never get stage-fright, performing in public;
I’m only shy on rehearsal days.
‘Cause that’s when we’re alone;
How can I stay in the zone,
When he plays!
That boy plays!
Why can’t he just play me?
(suddenly, realizing that everyone is listening)
Oh, my God, was that out loud?
Oh my God, I’m still out loud.
And this is a quiet crowd;
He must’ve heard something.
(imploringly, to the audience)
I can’t look!
You look!
Okay, I’ll look.
(SINGER takes a glance at the pianist, who’s looking back)
He’s not looking in his book.
He’s looking at me.
(taking a quick glance back at the pianist)
He’s still looking at me.
(SINGER addresses the pianist directly, who answers by playing)
How’s it goin’ over there?

All along?
Now I can tell you what I’ve been holding in,
Sing it to my heart’s own delight!
And when we’re done with this,
Let’s put aside that damn piano!
Come on, baby,
Play me tonight!
This song is so cute!
