Beat Me Daddy Eight To The Bar Lyrics

Beat Me Daddy Eight To The Bar lyrics

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 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 guitar
They holler out, "Beat me Daddy, eight to the
bar"

A-plink, a-plank, a-plink plank, plink plank
A-plunkin' on the
keys
A-riff, a-raff, a-riff raff, riff raff
A-riffin' out with
ease
And when he plays with the bass and guitar
They holler out, "Beat me
Daddy, eight to the bar"

He plays a boogie, he plays eight to the
bar
A boogie-woogie, 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"

----- instrumental break -----

In a little honky-tonky
village in Texas
There's a guy who plays the best piano by far
When he
plays with the bass and guitar
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 guitar
They holler out, "Beat me Daddy, eight to the
bar"

A-plink plink, a-plank plank, a-plink plank, plink
plank
A-plunkin' on the keys
A-riff riff, a-raff raff, a-riff raff, riff
raff
A-riffin' out with ease
But when he plays with the bass and
guitar
They holler out, "Beat me Daddy, eight to the bar"
