Lyrics

Club (G5)queen on the down town scene, prowl ing a round at night.

You’re not (G5)mean, you’re just born to be (E5)seen, like a born to be wild.

A lit tle (G)par ty nev er hurt no one, that’s why it’s al right.

You want (G)in, but you just can’t win so you hang in the likes.

You’re so art (G)de co out on the floor, shin ing like gun (Bm)me tal, cold and un sure.

Ba by, you’re so (G)ghet to, you’re look ing to score, when they all say, (Bm)“Hel lo,” you try to ig nore them.

’Cause you want (G)more.

(Em)(Why?)

You want (Bm)more.

(Why?)

You want (G)more.

(Em)(Why?) ’Cause you want (Bm)more.

Young (G5)thing on the down town scene, roll ing a round at night.

You’re Got (G5)things that have yet to be (E5)seen, like a rap per’s de light.

A lit tle (G)par ty nev er hurt no one, that’s why it’s al right.

You want (G)in, but you just can’t win so you stay in the lights.

You’re so art (G)de co out on the floor, shin ing like gun (Bm)me tal, cold and un sure.

Ba by, you’re so (G)ghet to, you’re look ing to score, when they all say, (Bm)“Hel lo,” you try to ig nore them.

’Cause you want (G)more.

(Em)(Why?)

You want (Bm)more.

(Why?)

You want (G)more.

(Em)(Why?) ’Cause you want (Bm)more.

Young

A lit tle (G)par ty nev er hurt no one so you stay out late.

A lit tle (G)par ty nev er hurt no one, that’s what your friends (Bm)say.

You put your life out on the (G)line,

you’re cra zy all the (Bm)time.

Put your life out on the (G)line,

you’re cra zy all the (Bm)time.

You’re so art

A lit tle (G)par ty nev er hurt no one, not you and me.

A lit tle (G)par ty nev er hurt no one, we were born to be (Bm)free.

Art Deco by Lana Del Rey — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Art Deco by Lana Del Rey in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of D at 99 BPM, a medium-difficulty arrangement — try slowing the tempo down using the BPM control.

Tips for parents & teachers

  • Start at 50% tempo using the BPM control. Speed up only when your child can play through without stopping.
  • Turn on the metronome from the top bar to build steady rhythm.
  • Use the segmented OFF / C / 1 button to toggle note labels on the staff and keys — kids learn note names faster with letters showing.
  • Tap a measure number on the timeline to jump to a specific section for repeat practice.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a great way to build confidence with minor-chord grooves in the key of D — your left hand plays block bass patterns, so focus on landing each root note cleanly and holding it steady while your right hand handles the melody above. The five chords here (Bm, Em, G, and the two power-chord voicings Epow and Gpow) sit comfortably on the keyboard, but watch the transition from Bm to Em — at 99 BPM that shift can sneak up on you if your fingers aren't already hovering near position. I'd suggest learning the left-hand pattern alone first, looping just the verse until the chord changes feel automatic, then layering in the right hand at around 70 BPM before bringing it up to tempo. The trickiest stumbling point is usually the power chords: they're sparse, so any hesitation sounds obvious — commit to them with a confident, even touch. Stick with this one and you'll really solidify your feel for energetic, minor-key pop rhythms that come up constantly in modern songs.
