THE piano used to write The Beatles’ Yesterday could smash its £125,000 estimate when it is sold next month.
The tune famously came to Paul McCartney in a dream but he was so convinced he had stolen it he visited singer Alma Cogan for her opinion.
It was on her family’s 1926 art deco mini piano the song was first played.
Macca’s original lyric was: “Scrambled eggs, oh my baby how I love your legs.”
The piano, kept by Cogan’s sister Sandra, will be sold at the Drury Lane Theatre, Central London on April 14.
