In a little ho

When he plays,
it's a ball,
he's the daddy
of them all
The people gat

Then when he p

The rhythm he

cats in a tra

Nobody there b
others to danc

But when he pl
ays with the b
ass and guitar
They holler ou
t, "Beat me Da
ddy, eight to
the bar"
A-plink, a-pla

a-plank
A-plunkin' on
the keys
A-riff, a-raff
, a-riff-a-raf

A-riffin' out
with ease
And when he pl
ays with the b
ass and guitar
They holler ou
t, "Beat me Da
ddy, eight to
the bar"
