Beat Me Daddy, Eight To The Bar <br />
- written by Don Raye, Hughie Prince and Eleanore Sheehy <br />
- as recorded by The Andrews Sisters with Vic Schoen <br />
& His Orchestra, August 28, 1940 <br />
<br />
In a little honky-tonky village in Texas <br />
There's a guy who plays the best piano by far <br />
He can play piano any way that you like it <br />
But the way he likes to play is eight to the bar <br />
When he plays, it's a ball <br />
He's the daddy of them all <br />
<br />
The people gather around when he gets on the stand <br />
Then when he plays, he gets a hand <br />
The rhythm he beats puts the cats in a trance <br />
Nobody there bothers to dance <br />
But when he plays with the bass and guitar <br />
They holler out, "Beat me Daddy, eight to the bar" <br />
<br />
A-plink, a-plank, a-plink plank, plink plank <br />
A-plunkin' on the keys <br />
A-riff, a-raff, a-riff raff, riff raff <br />
A-riffin' out with ease <br />
And when he plays with the bass and guitar <br />
They holler out, "Beat me Daddy, eight to the bar" <br />
<br />
He plays a boogie, he plays eight to the bar <br />
A boogie-woogie, that is the way he likes to play on his piano <br />
And we all know <br />
That when he plays he puts them all in a trance <br />
The cats all holler "Hooray" <br />
You'll hear them say, "Beat me Daddy, eight to the bar" <br />

They holler, "Beat me up Daddy, beat me Daddy, eight to the bar" <br />
<br />
The people gather around when he gets up on the stand <br />
Then when he plays, he gets a hand <br />
The rhythm that he plays puts the cats in a trance <br />
Nobody there ever bothers to dance <br />
But when he plays with the bass and guitar <br />
They holler out, "Beat me Daddy, eight to the bar" <br />
<br />
A-plink plink, a-plank plank, a-plink plank, plink plank <br />
A-plunkin' on the keys <br />
A-riff riff, a-raff raff, a-riff raff, riff raff <br />
A-riffin' out with ease <br />
But when he plays with the bass and guitar <br />
They holler out, "Beat me Daddy, eight to the bar
