in a little honkytonky 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 to play is eight to the bar
when he plays it’s a ball
he’s the daddy of them all
the people gather around 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
but when he plays with the bass and
they holler out beat me daddy eight to the bar
aplink aplank aplink plank plink plank
aplunkin’ on the keys
ariff araff ariff raff riff raff
ariffin’ out with ease
and when he plays with the bass and
they holler out beat me daddy eight to the bar
he plays a boogie he plays eight to the bar
a boogiewoogie that is the way he likes to play on his piano
and we all know
that when he plays he puts them all in a trance
the cats all holler hooray
you’ll hear them say beat me daddy eight to the bar
break
in a little honkytonky village in texas
there’s a guy who plays the best piano by far
when he plays with the bass and
they holler beat me up daddy beat me daddy eight to the bar
the people gather around when he gets up on the stand
then when he plays he gets a hand
the rhythm that he plays puts the cats in a trance
nobody there ever bothers to dance
but when he plays with the bass and
they holler out beat me daddy eight to the bar
aplink plink aplank plank aplink plank plink plank
aplunkin’ on the keys
ariff riff araff raff ariff raff riff raff
