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
