Squeeze Me 06:02
On the cobbled streets of Croydon towne The accordion player stands He plays an old accordion With his accordion-playing hands No-one knows where he is from No-one knows his name But everyone knows the tune he plays For it is always the same... His playing is extremely poor People stare at him and laugh He is considered a public nuisance By the Whitgift Centre staff But one evening as he packed his things to leave Curiosity got the better of me I followed the accordionist home He left his front door ajar behind him And up woodworm stairway winding I followed, crept outside his door and listened But the accordionist was not alone... A little voice sang Squeeze me! Come on, it's easy! Don't look so queasy Just pull and push my bellows out and in For though you'd best like to escape me You can hide, but you can't run From the old enchanted taunting Of the curs'd accordion I fled home running faster Than I'd ever run before Pondering the nature Of that voice behind the door But the very next day, as I walked through town Standing in his usual place The accordionist played the accordion With his accordion-playing face... His playing was as poor as ever He had not worked on his technique But as I ventured closer I swore a little voice did speak And it said Squeeze me! Come on, it's easy! Don't look so queasy Just pull and push my bellows out and in And if you play the tune I teach you Then the people all will come They will pay to hear the music Of the curs'd accordium I found myself following the accordionist home every day And listening outside his door to the words the accordion would say The taunting would continue Though the accordionist would resist He refused to play the magic tune Though the accordion would insist Then one day the voices fell silent I softly opened the door The accordionist lay DEAD Beside the accordion on the floor Something drew me closer I took the accordion in my hands And now on the cobbled Croydon streets I myself do stand And I sing Squeeze me! Come on it's easy! Don't look so queasy Just pull and push my bellows out and in And if you play the tune I teach you Then the people all will come They will pay to hear the music Of the curs'd accordium Squeeze me! Come on it's easy! Don't look so queasy Just pull and push my bellows out and in And when you hear the accordion in Croydon Then you don't have me to thank Thank the old enchanted taunting Of the curs'd accordiank!
