I say to myself, "This Mr Lyons,

- I only know the chorus.

- That's all right. I play the verse, you follow.

- You play and I'll noodle around.

- What do you mean by noodling?

- Like this...

- That's-a good.

You noodle on that, I macaroni on this.

Now, look, Mr Lyons, I know you want

to make a good impression,

but please don't play better than me.

Are we playing the same thing?

Ha-ha, one too much!

Ha-ha, that's very good.

Now we try the chorus,

but the chorus we play pianissimo.

- You know what pianissimo is?

- No.

- How long you study music?

- 15 years.

you could've been a plumber.

All right, never mind the pianissimo,

I'm going to make it very simple for you.

We play it allegro pizzicato.

That's what-a you call

high-class Carnegie Hall stuff.

- You know allegro pizzicato?

- No.

You know Jimmy Pizzicato?

- No.

- None of the Pizzicatos, huh?

- No.

- What do you know?

Er, I know pistachio.

Pistachio? We'll play it!

Two, three, four, five, six, seven.

Very good. Very good.

Now we play one more chorus. Come on.

Well, boys and girls,
