Tom, Tom the Piper's Son (From Film: Presenting Lily Mars)

Tom, Tom the Piper's Son - Judy Garland

The hade for rid a was going pop

And it couldn't stop

Now it's number one

Thanks to Tom the piper's son

Tom Tom the piper's son

Stole a tune and away he run

And away run he

With that melody

Tom was hot the tune was sweet

But he revamped it with a new off beat

And the classic thing

Got a shot of swing

Mr Brahms cried och

So did mozart and bach

And to hear them rave

Paginini tumbled over in his grave

And now that tune that no one played

Has stepped right up and hit the hit parade

It was growing pop

And it couldn't stop

Now it's number one thanks to Tom the piper's son

Tom tom the piper's son

Stole a tune and away he run

And away run he

With that melody

Tom was hot the tune was sweet

But he revamped it with a new off beat

And the classic thing

Got a shot of swing

Beethoven turned gray

So did Debussy and Bose

It was such a stew

Tchaikovsky said I'm gonna sue

And now that tune that no one played

Has stepped right up and hit the hit parade

It was growing pop and it couldn't stop

Now it's number one thanks to Tom the piper's son
