Everybody always asked me

How I got to play so fine

And friends, I'm gonna tell ya

It really did take some time

And a case of real bad knees

While the other guys were out playin' with the football

I was home bangin' on the keys

I guess I'm really very lucky

That I've got this thing to play

'Cause it can really make me feel good

Even when it's cloudy and grey

And awful allergies that made me sneeze

And now the other guys are out playin' with their girlfriends

And I was still bangin' on the keys
