Who's Gonna Play This Old Piano... (Think About It Darlin'), 1972
Written by Ray Griff
O listen!
This song seems to be a winking double entendre. The narrator wonders who'll play songs for his lady after he dies, but it's possible he's also asking who's going to tickle his lady's ivories after he's gone, if you know what I mean. "When everything is a-hushed and still / Who's gonna touch these keys with feeling / Really get to you." Lewis doesn't seem to be taking it too seriously, throwing in a few spoken callbacks to the lyrics and burying it in a wave of ragtime, Dixieland jazz, and Vaudeville sounds.
