In a little honky-tonky Billington, Texas There's a guy who plays the best piano by far
He can play piano any way that you like it But the way he likes to play is hey, to the bar
When he plays it's a ball, he's the daddy of them all
People gather around when he gets on the stand And when he plays, he gets a hand
The rhythm he beats puts the cats in a trance Nobody there bothers to dance
And when he plays with the bass and guitar Hello, BB, Daddy, hey, to the bar
A-plink, a-plank, a-plink, a-plank, a-plink, a-plank, a-plonkin' on the key
Riff-a-raff, riff-a-raff, riff-a-raff, riff-a-raff

And when he plays with the bass and guitar They holler, oh, BB, Daddy, hey, to the bar
He plays the boogie, he plays hey, to the bar The boogie-woogie, that is the way he likes to play on his piano
And we all know that when he plays he puts them all in a trance
The cats all holler hooray, you hear them say
BB, Daddy, hey, to the bar
The people gather around when he gets up on the stand
And when he plays, he gets a hand The rhythm that he plays puts the cats in a trance
Nobody there ever bothers to dance But when he plays with the bass and guitar
Oh, BB, Daddy, hey, to the bar
They holler, oh, BB, Daddy, hey, to the bar
A-plink, a-plink, a-plank, a-plank, a-plink, a-plank, a-plank, a-plonkin' on the key
Riff-a-raff, riff-a-raff, riff-a-raff, riff-a-raff, riff-a-raff, riff-a-raff, riff-a-raff
And when he plays with the bass and guitar They holler, oh, BB, Daddy, hey, to the bar
