Beat Me Daddy, Eight To The Bar Lyrics - Glenn Miller

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!"
