Glenn Miller

Beat Me Daddy, Eight To The Bar

(Don Raye, Hughie Prince & Elinor Sheehy)
(vocals: Jack Lathrop)

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!"

Mirror lyrics:

They holler all, "Come on and beat me daddy, eight to bar!"
And when he jams with the bass and guitar

A riff, well, a-riffin' out with ease
A plink, plunkin' on the keys,

They holler all, "Beat me daddy, eight to bar!"
And when he jams with the bass and guitar
Nobody there bothers to dance
The rhythm he beats puts the cats in a trance

Then when he plays he gets a hand
The people gather round when he gets on the stand

He is the daddy of them all
When he plays it's a ball,
But the way he likes it best is eight to the bar
He can play piano any way that you like it
There's a guy who plays the best piano by far
In a little honky-tonky village in Texas
