C  G7 C
Oh Su-zanna,
F
Dust off that old pianna
C        Gm6 A7                D7  G7
My hands are itching for those keys

             C    G7 C
Our troubles will go winging
F
The moment we start singing
C   GdimG7               CC7
All our fav'rite melodies

              F
Let's get the gang around
Cdim         C
That used to hang around
D7
And when the neighbors hear me singing tenor
G7          Gdim      G7
They'll for-get about Cantor and Penner

C  G7 C
Oh Su-zanna,
F
I'll let you sing soprana
C    Am      D7     G7      C    G7
Dust off the Old Pi-anna to-night

Interlude:

C
Do re mi fa so la ti do
G7
That's the scale
                    C
ev'ry body ought to know
G7                     C
How to play from Do to Do

Cm                            Cm
There is nothing finer than a minor strain
G7                   Cm
It's the kind-a melo-dy
G7                  Cm
Gets a lot of sympa-thy

  C               G7
A chord in "C" is beautiful
I heard somebody say it
  G
A chord in "G" is wonderful
   D7             G7
Ac-cording to the way you play it.

My hands are itching for those keys

G7            C  G7 C
It seems like ma-ny ages
F
Since we last turned the pages
C  GdimG7               CC7
Of our fav'rite melodies

Oh look your fathers here
                C
And here's your mother dear
             D7
It's time we had the parlor freshly painted
G7       Gdim      G7
Time for us to get re-acquainted

Take off that old bandana

Dust off that Old Pian-na to-night.
