Beat Me Daddy, Eight To The Bar - written by Don Raye, Hughie Prince and Eleanore Sheehy - as recorded by The Andrews Sisters with Vic Schoen & His Orchestra, August 28, 1940
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
