Lyrics

Now here’s the story of my life,
I’ve had fun but lots of strife,
For I was born left-handed, but I’m proud
To be one of the elite, right-handers we can beat
We’re the 10% that stand out from the crowd!.

But as a little lad, oh the problems that I had
Winding clockwork toys was just a mystery
Tying laces was a pain, couldn’t get it in my brain
Everything was back-to-front it seemed to me.

Chorus
We’re the Cack-Handed Kings, we’re the LEFTIES
You right-handers just haven’t got a clue
‘Cos if you’d been through what we’ve been through
Then maybe you would feel superior too!

At 5 I started school where I was treated like a fool
Being left-handed I stood out from the pack
And learning how to write was not a struggle – more a fight
For I had my left hand tied behind my back

“Now get it in your head” the sympathetic teacher said
“You use the right and not the Devil’s side”
Those supposed men of vision caused me pain and such derision
Is it any wonder often times I cried?

We’re the Gibble Fisted Friends, we’re the LEFTIES (repeat chorus).

Time then came when my voice dropped
And my face was one big spot
But I was glad to see my teenage years arrive,
Because I use my left, I was different from the rest
And the girls saw me as something of a prize!.

I learned some handy tricks in the back row of the flicks
It used to drive my girlfriends all berserk
For their eyes would keep apace of my right hand – just in case
And they never saw my left one go to work!.

We’re the Southpawed Princes, we’re the LEFTIES (repeat chorus).

Well I’m married now, worst luck
But my wife has given up
Asking me to help with chores like peeling spuds,
Or trying to cut the bread, I’ll get a 4 x 2″ wedge
Lose three fingertips and half a pint of blood.

I would love to be a dad, but we’ve hit a little snag
If you can help please tell us what to do
The problem simply said, is that I’m a left-hand thread
But my wife you see, now she’s a right-hand …..OH, YES WE’RE THE.

Scrummy-Handed Heroes, we’re the LEFTIES (repeat chorus).

Now we reach today, where you stand and watch me play
And yes, I play right-handed it is true
For the very simple fact is that I’ve had to adapt
Something all we southpaws have to try and do

We have trouble tying ties, writing cheques out, using knives
and scissors made for use in your right hand
And when it comes to sport once again we are left short
In hockey and in polo we are banned.

We’re the Cuddy Wifter Winners, we’re the LEFTIES (repeat chorus).

Now I’ve finished off my song and as you move along
Please bear in mind the things I’ve had to say
And please show some respect for your friends who use the left
Thanks for listening to me this Left-Handers Day.

this is is a piano piece for left hand alone, written by Alexander Scriabin

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Scriabin

(6 January 1872 [O.S. 25 December 1871]–27 April 1915)

also see the tribute website to the music written for left hand only:

http://hjem.get2net.dk/Brofeldt/index.htm

some incredible information there!

The reason this music is written?

see Paul Wittgenstein (May 11, 1887 — March 3, 1961); an Austrian-born pianist who lost his right arm in World War I, but continued to give concerts playing with only his left arm, and commissioned several works from prominent composers.

posted in response to
Re: atheism, religion, philosophy…

but it has not much to do with that, or does it?

for the sheet music, try the new ipages site:

an incredible resource for almost all musicians and people around the globe in general.
