Sweet Potato Piper 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
