Beat Me Daddy Eight To The Bar |
In a little honky-tonky village in Texas |
There’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!» |
