The Andrews Sisters

The Andrews Sisters were a highly successful close harmony singing group of the swing and boogie-woogie eras. The group consisted of three sisters: contralto LaVerne Sophia Andrews (July 6, 1911 – May 8, 1967), soprano Maxene Angelyn Andrews (January 3, 1916 – October 21, 1995), and mezzo-soprano Patricia Marie "Patty" Andrews (born February 16, 1918). Throughout their long career, the sisters sold well over 75 million records (the last official count released by MCA Records in the mid-1970s). Their 1941 hit "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" can be considered an early example of rhythm and blues or jump blues. more »

Music soothes the savage
That's a well known phrase
But your heart becomes
Full of kettle drums
When the sweet potato piper plays

Go on, throw your hat up
Shout a few hoorays
Cause you can't hold back
You're a jumpin' jack
When the sweet potato piper plays

Though it's not a magic flute
There's a fascinatin' toot
It's not exactly beautiful
It's sort of like an I don't know
I guess you'd call it cute!

Sunbeams try new dance steps,
Songbirds sound their A's
And the world joins in
With a great big grin
When the sweet potato piper plays
