I'm The Guy Who Found The Lost Chord

I'm The Guy Who Found The Lost Chord - Jimmy Durante

Sitting at my piano the other day

My mind was ill at ease

They were coming to take

It away that afternoon

I was all by myself in a mellow mood

Improvising symphonies

My right hand was playing Mozart's minuet

And at the same time my left hand

Was playing have a banana from Carmen

And at the same time my mouth

Was whistling a sextet from Luicini

And at the same time

What do you think my foot was doing

While keeping time it was cracking walnuts

See I had to eat too

Then in the midst of all soliloquy

I found it I found it

The Lost Chord The Lost Chord

So let's celebrate I'm feeling great

I'm the guy that found the Lost chord

I'll have my name in the hall of fame

Cos I went and found that lost chord

Everyone knows Tchaikovsky

Wasn't recognised for 300 years

Brahms wasn't recognised for 400 years

Beethoven wasn't recognised for 500 years

But I can't wait that long

I've only got two changes of clothes

So let's celebrate I'm feeling great

I'm the guy that found the Lost chord

So let's celebrate I'm feeling great

I'm the guy that found the Lost chord
