Tuning Tunes

How about a twist on this thread. I don't play piano. I tool organ lessons for a few years 30 years ago. I can read the right hand music, play a few cords, run up and down some scales. Can someone suggest a good song to learn that would sound good to play after tuning a piano, and is fairly easy to learn. I could learn to play a second year piano student's version of Jingle Bells in maybe five to ten hours (maybe more).
