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 off, shout a few hoorays
'Cause you can't hold back, you're a jumping jack
When the sweet potato piper plays
Though it's not a magic flute, there's a fascinating toot
It's not exactly beautiful, it's sorta like an "I-don't-know"
I guess you'd call it cute
Sunbeams try new dance steps, songbirds sound their ayes
And the world joins in with a great big grin
When the sweet potato piper plays

Hello there, Texas, what you say?
How come you're whistling? Why don't you play?
I've been messing with this sweet potato all day long
I can't make it play, what goes? What's wrong?
You're crazy, Texas, you're out of your mind
You can't blow that, that's the eatin' kind
Well, them baby rug cutters down Texas way
They blow on sweet potatoes and really make them play
Why don't you stick to your saxophone, man?
You ought to know you can't jam on a yam
