1
In a little honky-tonky village in Texas
2
There's a guy who plays the best piano by far
3
He can play piano any way that you like it
4
But the way he likes to play is eight to the bar
5
When he plays, it's a ball
6
He's the daddy of them all
7
The people gather around when he gets on the stand
8
Then when he plays, he gets a hand
9
The rhythm he beats puts the cats in a trance
10
Nobody there bothers to dance
11
But when he plays with the bass and guitar
12
They holler out, "Beat me Daddy, eight to the bar"
13
A-plink, a-plank, a-plink plank, plink plank
14
A-plunkin' on the keys
15
A-riff, a-raff, a-riff raff, riff raff
16
A-riffin' out with ease
17
And when he plays with the bass and guitar
18
They holler out, "Beat me Daddy, eight to the bar"
19
He plays a boogie, he plays eight to the bar
20
A boogie-woogie, that is the way he likes to play on his piano
21
And we all know
22
That when he plays he puts them all in a trance
23
The cats all holler "Hooray"
24
You'll hear them say, "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

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
36
A-plunkin' on the keys
37
A-riff riff, a-raff raff, a-riff raff, riff raff
38
A-riffin' out with ease
