Glenn Miller - The Essential Glenn Miller

Beat Me Daddy Eight To The Bar - Remastered

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 a bar
When he plays it's a ball
He is 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

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

Plunkin' on the keys
A-riff, riffin' out with ease

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

Oh, beat me daddy, eight to the bar!
