Lyrics
[Intro] (4 bars)
(Bright piano vamp; left hand “oom‑pah”, right hand chromatic pickup into Verse)
Verse 1
I set one button and the room starts to glow,
A pocket band waiting for my fingers to show.
Left hand keeps the streetcar rolling down the line,
Right hand laughs in triplets—feels mighty fine.
Pre‑Chorus
A single little cable to the city of sound,
Zeros, ones, and heartbeat—see the meters rebound.
The keys say “go,” and the groove says “stay,”
I bounce off the bench and I’m on my way.
Chorus
E‑three‑eight‑three, play along with me,
Let the left hand stomp while the right runs free.
E‑three‑eight‑three, one touch and see—
I’ve got a rag in the wires and a smile in the key.
Verse 2
Styles spin like a carousel, colors in the air,
I catch one on the fly and ride it anywhere.
Bass walks steady, treble flips and grins,
I toss a little turnaround and dive back in.
Pre‑Chorus 2
Tap the syncopation, tilt the hat just so,
Sneak a grace‑note giggle, then away we go.
The lights blink time while the speakers sing,
I’m chasing every melody with spring‑heel swing.
Chorus
E‑three‑eight‑three, play along with me,
Let the left hand stomp while the right runs free.
E‑three‑eight‑three, plug in—agree:
One tiny road to a giant sea.
[Piano Break / Solo] (8–16 bars)
(Right hand: rapid chromatic runs and octave flourishes;
Left hand: stride/oom‑pah with occasional walking tenths;
Tag a half‑step fake‑out, then land back in F)
[Bridge] – Modulate to Bb
I took a little corner where the daylight bends,
Found another key and we became good friends.
Spin that circle, chase that tune,
Ride it home by the next full moon.
(Quick secondary‑dominant chain back toward F)
Final Chorus
E‑three‑eight‑three, sing it loud with me,
Let the left hand stomp while the right runs free.
E‑three‑eight‑three, neat as can be—
One cable to the city of sound, and the rag is the key.
[Outro] (4 bars)
(Stop‑time hits; last bar: right‑hand gliss up, final F major stomp.)
