Dog waltz

Who didn’t try, when they were small,
To play Dog Waltz - the anthem of us all?
Yeah, you know the tune I mean…
Alright DJ, drop that beat!

Today me and sis got a reason to smile,
Parents bought me an accordion — old school style!
And they promised my sister, to make her day bright,
A shiny piano, all polished and white.

Just like the neighbor’s, two floors up,
Grandma Zina’s girl - she’s got the stuff.
Wooden, glossy, making us dream,
We’re drawn to those keys like bees to cream.

Mom said: "Kids, you’ll both go learn,
Music school’s waiting, now it’s your turn!"
Sis on the piano, me on the squeeze-box,
Learning sharps and flats — yeah, unorthodox!

After class, we ran upstairs for more,
Neighbor gave us lessons, music lore.
But then came her friend, her name was Svet,
Showed us a masterclass we won’t forget.

She learned it from Tanya, who played guitar,
Knew the notes by heart, like a little star.
Though the string had snapped, the tune survived,
She taught us Dog Waltz — we came alive!

Not a sonata, not salsa, not polka in halls,
It’s that childhood classic - the famous Dog Waltz!
Hands on the keys, bang loud, no halt,
Who here has not played the Dog Waltz?

At first our neighbors held their peace,
While we practiced that waltz with zeal and grease.
But when we sped up, and banged away,
Morse code came tapping through the radiator that day.

Me and sis thought we were Chopin, Bach,
Talent exploding, no need for a prof.
Why go study? We’re already kings!
Dog Waltz forever, let the whole block sing!

The upstairs lady cried - her cat ran off,
Guess our masterpiece was just too rough.
But the lady below? She joined the scene,
Her dog howled loud - like a backing machine! (Ahooo!)

Now we’re grown, our kids all tall,
Accordions, pianos - we don’t play at all.
But hey - we’ve got AI dropping beats online,
Dog Waltz remix - forever divine!
