Song 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 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

Johnny Burke, James V Monaco
