sweet potato piper - glenn miller lyrics
“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 jumping jack
when the sweet potato piper plays…
though it’s not a magic flute
there’s a fascinating 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!
(whistlewhistlewhistle)
(dialogue between marion hutton and tex beneke)
marion hutton:
h-llo there, texas, whatcha say?
how come you’re whistling,
why don’t you play?
tex beneke:
i’ve been messing with this sweet potato all day long
i can’t make it play,
what goes, what’s wrong?
mh:
you’re crazy, texas,
you’re outta your mind
you can’t blow that
that’s the eatin kind!
tb:
but them baby rug-cutters down texas way
they been blowin on sweet potatoes
and really make ’em play!
mh:
why don t you stick to your saxophone, man?
you oughta know you can’t jam on a yam…!
