Keys

Keys (in 7/4; to be recited while jangling a set of keys in rhythm)

Keys in my pocket un-
lock the doors of
Changes and chances in
all of my life's
Cases and closures and
closets where locked
Treasures and trophies will
be dis- cov- red!

*

One is the key to the
front door to my
Home is the happiest
place to be. I
Want to be home all the
time, not e- nough!
Oh, what a wonderful
key, this one here!

*

This is the key to a car
I bor- row some-
Times when I need to get
out for a ride.
What an adventure a-
waits with this key!
Turn it, turn on to the
world that a- waits!

*

Sim- ply put.

Listen, the keys!

Listen, the keys!
what they tell you!
Listen, the keys!
Open the door!
Open the door!
O- pen the door!


*

These are the keys that I
like to play when
piano and person are
brought to- ge- ther.
Melody, harmony....
from black and white.
Jingle the jangle of
i- vo- ry keys!

*

Then, at the keyboard I,
???One Two Three Four!???
Pound out a playing of
E- flat ma- jor
Not very difficult
key to play if
One always remembers
pa- tience is key!

*

Sim- ply put.

Listen, the keys!

Listen, the keys!
what they tell you!
Listen, the keys!
Open the door!
Open the door!
O- pen the door!

*

Keys in your pocket un-
lock the doors of
Changes and chances in
all of your life's
Cases and closures and
closets where locked
Treasures and trophies will
be dis- cov- red!

That???s the key!
