Lyrics

(D5)Won’t do no good if you run from me.

There ain’t no cheat in’, schem in’ my heart don’t see.

You left your trou bles in my head, in my head.

You left your se crets in my bed, in my bed.

You’re like the cov er of a book that’s been read, miles, ba by.

Ev I lit know tle what line is com in’ next, ry where com you’ve in’ next.

(C)You (G)can’t (D5)hide from me.

There ain’t no (G)tricks that you can (D5)try on me.

I know your (G)ev ’ry move be (D5)fore you e ven breathe, ba by.

(C)Think in’ you know some thin’ I don’t (G)know, (CN.C.)but my eyes, my eyes, my eyes are like a tel e (D5)scope.

(D5)You’re kiss in’ her when my head is turned.

You must be cra zy, ba by, have n’t you learned?

You can’t de ceive me, sil ly child, sil ly child.

Telescope by Lennon Stella and Maisy Stella — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Telescope” by Lennon Stella and Maisy Stella 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 G at 240 BPM, a comfortable easy-level arrangement perfect for first-time learners.

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.
