Lyrics

Is it the clump y way he walks?

Or the grump y way he talks?

Or the pear shaped, square shaped weird ness of his feet?

And though we know he wash es well, he al ways ends up sort a smell y.

But you’ll nev er meet a fel la who’s as sen si tive and sweet!

So he’s a bit of a fix er up per; so he’s got a few flaws, like his pe cu liar brain, dear, his thing with the rein deer, that’s a lit tle out side of na ture’s laws!

So he’s a bit of a fix er up per, but this we’re cer tain of; you can fix this fix er up per up with a lit tle bit of love!

Fixer Upper by Robert Lopez — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Fixer Upper” by Robert Lopez 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 C at 120 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.

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.
