Songs about playing a musical instrument


/
"Guitar Shopping," David Wilcox
There's a guitar here in the window
I'd like to play before it's sold
It's such a classic, mint condition,
Great shape for one this old...

 
"On, How I Hate To Get Up In The Morning," from This Is The Army
Oh! how I hate to get up in the morning,
Oh! how I'd love to remain in bed;
For the hardest blow of all, is to hear the bugler call:
you've got to get up, you've got to get up, you've got to get up this morning!

 
"Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy," The Andrews Sisters
He was a famous trumpet man from out Chicago way
He had a boogie style that no one else could play
He was the top man at his craft
But then his number came up and he was gone with the draft
He's in the army now, a blowin' reveille
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B
They made him blow a bugle for his Uncle Sam
It really brought him down because he couldn't jam
The captain seemed to understand
Because the next day the cap' went out and drafted a band
And now the company jumps when he plays reveille
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B
A toot, a toot, a toot diddelyada toot
He blows it eight to the bar, in boogie rhythm
He can't blow a note unless the bass and guitar is playin' with 'im
He makes the company jump when he plays reveille
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B...


And Bette Midler:

Another Christmas song! The French carol Il Est Ne (He is born), which include the lyrics:

Il est né, il est né
Il est né, il est né
Il est né, le divin Enfant
Jouez, hautbois, résonnez, musettes
Il est né, le divin Enfant
Chantons tous son avènement

(He is born, the divine child,
Play the oboes, ring out the bagpipes!
He is born, the divine child,
Let us all sing his coming!)

 
"I've Got A Dream," from Tangled
I'm malicious, mean and scary
My sneer could curdle dairy
And violence wise, my hands are not the cleanest
But despite my evil look
And my temper, and my hook
I've always yearned to be a concert pianist
Can't ya see me on the stage performin' Mozart
Ticklin' the ivories 'til they gleam?
Yep, I'd rather be called deadly
For my killer show tune medley
Thank you
'Cause way down deep inside
I've got a dream

 
"Blow, Gabriel, Blow," from Anything Goes
Well, it's Gabriel, Gabriel playin'!
Gabriel, Gabriel sayin'
"Will you be ready to go
When I blow my horn?"

Oh, blow, Gabriel, blow,
Go on and blow, Gabriel, blow!
I've been a sinner, I've been a scamp,
But now I'm willin' to trim my lamp,
So blow, Gabriel, blow!
