Medla A. I Love Piano, B. Snooky Ookums, C. When the Midnight Choo Choo Songtext
von Judy Garland

I love a piano, I love a piano
I love to hear somebody play
Upon a piano, a grand piano
It simply carries me away
I know a fine way to treat a Steinway
I love to run my fingers o'er the keys, the ivories
And with the pedal I love to meddle
When Padarewski comes this way
I'm so delighted if I'm invited
To hear that long haired genius play
So you can keep your fiddle and your bow
Give me a p-i-a-n-o, oh, oh
I love to stop right beside an upright
Or a high toned baby grand
All night long he calls her snookey ookum, snookey ookums
All they do is talk like babies
She's his jelly elly roll
He's her sugey ugar bowl
Hear the way they bill and coo, poogywoo, poogywoo, poogywoo?
All night long he calls her snookey ookums, snookey ookums All nigh long the neighbors shout "Cut it out! Cut it out! Cut it out!"
They cry, "For goodness sake don't keep us all awake
With your snookey, ookey, ookey, baby talk!"
When the midnight choo-choo leaves for Alabam'
(Alabam', Alabam')
I'll be right there (Where'll be, Where'll be)
I've got my fare (Show't to me, Show't to me)
When I see that rusty-haired conductor-man
(What'll do, What'll do)
I'll grab him by the collar
And I'll holler
"Alabam'! Alabam'!" (Wow)
That's where you stop your train
That brings me back again
Down home where I'll remain
Where my honey-lamb am
I will be right there with bells
When that old conductor yells
"All aboard for Alabam'"
