Lyrics
Chorus
Try it on your piano grand
I don’t care to understand
B or I flat, C or Y flat
Try it hon’ but not in my flat
While I don’t doubt that what you say is true
I’m not taking chances with some love that’s new
So Mister Manner, try it on your piano
But you can’t try it on me
Chorus
Try it on your piano grand
I don’t care to understand
B or I flat, C or Y flat
Try it hon’ but not in my flat
Give me Peruna for my ev’ry pain
For he who takes that will live to take again
So try your brand up on a baby grand
Because you can’t try it on me
