When Harpo Played His Harp

Jonathan Richman

[Verse 1]
Well, when Harpo played his harp, it was a mystery
All the laughing stopped back to the balcony
Chico, Chico, sure to please
Now, let's watch him shoot the keys
When Harpo would play his harp, all was still

[Verse 2]
When Harpo played his harp, it was a dream, it was
Well, if someone else can do it, how come nobody does?
Ah, Groucho, Groucho, fast as light
Some talk like him, but not quite
When Harpo would play his harp all was still, still

[Chorus]
Well Harpo, Harpo, this is the angels
And where did you get that sound so fine?
Harpo, Harpo, we gotta hear it
Ooh, one more time
Harpo, Harpo, we’re in the galaxies
And here did you get that sound so fine?
Harpo, Harpo, We gotta hear it
Ooh, one more time

[Verse 3]
Do you remember what he would do, sometimes, before he'd play?
Well, he'd look up to the sky, and he’d look the angels' way
Oh, Harpo, Harpo, when you start
Tears of joy inside my heart
Harpo would play his harp and all was still

[Chorus]
Alright, Harpo, Harpo, this is the angels
And where did you get that sound so fine?
Harpo, Harpo, we gotta hear it
Ooh, one more time
Well, Harpo, Harpo, we're in the galaxies
And where did you get that sound so fine?
Harpo, Harpo, we gotta hear it
Ooh, one more time
Oh, one more time
