sweet potato piper
"Music soothes the savage",Thatâ??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 canâ??t hold back
Youâ??re a jumping jack
When the sweet potato piper plays...
Though itâ??s not a magic flute
Thereâ??s a fascinating toot
Itâ??s not exactly beautiful,
Itâ??s sort of like anâ?? I donâ??t know
I guess youâ??d call it cute!
Sunbeams try new dance steps,
Songbirds sound their aâ??s,
And the world joins in
With a great big grin
When the sweet potato piper plays!

(Dialogue between Marion Hutton and Tex Beneke)
Marion Hutton:
Hello there, Texas, whatcha say?
How come youâ??re whistling,
Why donâ??t you play?
Tex Beneke:
Iâ??ve been messing with this Sweet Potato all day long
I canâ??t make it play,
What goes, whatâ??s wrong?
MH:
Youâ??re crazy, Texas,
Youâ??re outta your mind
You canâ??t blow that
Thatâ??s the eatinâ?? kind!
TB:
But them baby rug-cutters down Texas way
They been blowinâ?? on Sweet Potatoes
And really make ´em play!
MH:
Why donâ??t you stick to your saxophone, man?
You oughta know you canâ??t jam on a yam...!
