Martha: Well out in Kansas City on One two street They say that there’s a guy They call Pig Foot Pete He plays piano by ear And he’ll play all night for pigs feet and beer He’s murder on the 88’s He’s the guy who brought the boogie Woogie up to date He’s got a cannon in his left hand And a rifle in his right He’s just a double-barreled gate And he shoots the eight-beats to you At a frightening rate He’s a solid wiz, I’ll tell you who he is He’s Pigfoot Pete, a boogie woogie's elite
His hands are just as big as Virginia hams And when he goes to work they’re Like battering rams When he’ plays on that box, The joint rocks Until your feet to your socks Wherever boogie is part of the plan You'll find Pig Foot Pete, The boogie woogie man
Chorus: Well out in Kansas City on One two street They say that there’s a guy They call Pig Foot Pete He plays piano by ear And he plays all night for pigs feet and beer He’s murder on the 88’s He’s the guy who brought the boogie Woogie up to date
Martha: His hands are just as big as Virginia hams And when he goes to work they’re Like battering rams When he’ plays on that box, The joint rocks Until your feet to your socks Wherever boogie is part of the plan You'll find Pig Foot Pete, The boogie woogie man Pig Foot Pete, The boogie woogie man They call him Pig Foot, The boogie woogie man Oh Yeah
