Sweet Potato Piper

Sweet Potato Piper - DOROTHY LAMOUR

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

Music soothes the savage

That's a well known phrase

But your heart becomes

Full of kettle drums

When the piper plays

Throw your hat up

Shout hoorays

Cause you can't hold back

You're a jumpin' jack

Oh potato piper

It's a magic flute

And the largical toot toot

Now but I got beautiful

There's ever fascinatin' never think 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

Oh play oh that hard man really play
