Sweet Potato Piper

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



Oh, play it Piper!



Yes, make me know it!



(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



Yes, I'm with the Piper!



(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 (Okay!)

(Cause you can't hold back)

(You're a jumpin' jack)

(When the sweet potato piper plays)



Though it's not a magic flute (Oh, no, no, no)

There's a fascinatin' toot (Toot-doo-doo-doo)

It's not exactly beautiful

It's sort of like an' I don't know

I guess you'd call it cute-li-doot



(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, sweet potato piper hotter than a pickled pepper picker

Pick a piper for me
