The Music Lesson [Song]

THE MUSIC LESSON
By The Duke of Iron

I had a serious adventure with a musical teacher
Oh lord, I had a serious adventure with a musical teacher
The first thing she taught me was proper fingering
With the rhythm and the technique how to swing
But the highlight of everything
Was every night I had to jive on she mandolin.

She was a dangerous instructor
When it came to the crotchet and the quaver
But in the flat and the sharp keys
Don't talk how I handled them with ease
In the minor she had me trembling
But in the major, boy, I had her grumbling
And so the highlights of everything
Was every night I had to jive on she mandolin.

Now, I found she was drastic
I don't know why she kept me from the classic
When I put my hand on the keyboard
I always touched an augmented chord
I, for example, was strictly musical
But she meant romance in general
And so the highlights of everything
Was every night I had to jive on she mandolin.

Now she said to me, "Duke of Iron,
Let us try another progression."
She said, "I'll teach you a duet.
And this is one you can't forget."
She went so fast that I couldn't remember
If I was playing in major or minor
She said, "You'll be soon graduating,
Because you really lay your jive on mih mandolin."
