In a little honky-tonky village in Texas
Di sebuah desa kecil yang ramai di Texas
There's a guy who plays the best piano by far
Ada seorang pria yang memainkan piano terbaik sejauh ini
He can play piano any way that you like it
Dia bisa memainkan piano dengan cara apa pun yang kamu suka
But the way he likes to play is eight to the bar
Tapi cara dia suka bermain adalah delapan di bar
When he plays, it's a ball
Ketika dia bermain, itu sangat seru
He's the daddy of them all
Dia adalah yang terbaik di antara yang lain

The people gather around when he gets on the stand
Orang-orang berkumpul saat dia naik ke panggung
Then when he plays, he gets a hand
Saat dia bermain, dia mendapatkan tepuk tangan
The rhythm he beats puts the cats in a trance
Irama yang dia mainkan membuat semua orang terhipnotis
Nobody there bothers to dance
Tidak ada yang mau berdansa di sana
But when he plays with the bass and guitar
Tapi saat dia bermain dengan bass dan gitar
They holler out, "Beat me Daddy, eight to the bar"
Mereka teriak, "Pukuli aku, Ayah, delapan di bar"

A-plink, a-plank, a-plink plank, plink plank
A-plink, a-plank, a-plink plank, plink plank
A-plunkin' on the keys
Bermain di tuts piano
A-riff, a-raff, a-riff raff, riff raff
A-riff, a-raff, a-riff raff, riff raff
A-riffin' out with ease
Bermain dengan santai
And when he plays with the bass and guitar
Dan saat dia bermain dengan bass dan gitar
They holler out, "Beat me Daddy, eight to the bar"
Mereka teriak, "Pukuli aku, Ayah, delapan di bar"

He plays a boogie, he plays eight to the bar
Dia memainkan boogie, dia bermain delapan di bar
A boogie-woogie, that is the way he likes to play on his piano
Boogie-woogie, itulah cara dia suka bermain piano
And we all know
Dan kita semua tahu
That when he plays he puts them all in a trance
Bahwa saat dia bermain, semua orang terhipnotis
The cats all holler "Hooray"
Semua orang berteriak "Hore"
You'll hear them say, "Beat me Daddy, eight to the bar"
Kamu akan mendengar mereka berkata, "Pukuli aku, Ayah, delapan di bar"
