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!"
