|
In a little honky-tonky village in |
|
TexasThere's a guy who plays the best piano by far |
|
He can play piano any way that you like it |
|
But the way he likes it best is eight to the bar |
|
When he plays it's a ball, |
|
He is the daddy of them all... |
|
The people gather round when he gets on the stand |
|
Then when he plays he gets a hand |
|
The rhythm he beats puts the cats in a trance |
|
Nobody there bothers to dance |
|
And when he jams with the bass and guitar |
|
They holler all, \"Beat me daddy, eight to bar!\" |
|
A plink, plunkin on the keys, |
|
A riff, well, a-riffin out with ease |
|
And when he jams with the bass and guitar |
|
They holler all, \"Come on and beat me daddy, eight to bar!\" |
