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
When Harpo played his harp it was a dream it was
Well, if someone else can do it how come nobody does?
Groucho, Groucho, fast as light
Some talk like him, but not quite
And when Harpo would play his harp, all was still, still.
Harpo, Harpo, this is the angels
And where did you get that sound so fine?
Harpo, Harpo, we gotta hear it
Oooh, one more time
Harpo, Harpo, we're in the galaxies
And where did you get that sound so fine?
Harpo, Harpo, we gotta hear it
Oooh, one more time.
Do you remember what he would do sometimes before he'd play?
He'd look up to the sky and look the angels' way
Harpo, Harpo, when you start
Tears of joy inside my heart
When Harpo played his harp, all was still
Harpo, Harpo, this is the angels
And where did you get that sound so fine?
Harpo, Harpo, we gotta hear it
Oooh, one more time
Harpo, Harpo, we're in the galaxies
And where did you get that sound so fine?
Harpo, Harpo, we gotta hear it
Oooh, one more time.
Ooh oh oh ooh, one more time.
