Lyric Stomp Of King Porter
Alan s solo:
Gather roun n hear my story
Oh boy!
Bout the time when Jelly Roll was in town
(Stompin it off, stompin it off...)
He heard a local pianist
What joy!
Stompin out music on an old upright pi-ano
Here comes King
that was downright ragged in a Scott Joplin way
(Here he comes-Master of the stomp)
Ol Jelly knew the fella could play
Dig him!
by the things he heard his right hand say
(Now - we re gonna romp)
(There was no doubtin that the man could swing)
When Jelly Roll demanded his name
Hail! King Porter
Well, the man responded "Porter King"
(Dig Im!) By order!
Well, Jelly lef th city, but he wrote
(Dig Im!) Y wanna dig im
a rompin ditty bout the Porter
(Dig Im!) Y gonna dig im
who was "King O The Stomp"
Porter King sho can stomp
Jelly wrote a ditty bout a fella who could romp
This is the tune - "King Porter Stomp"
When Porter s stridin hands are flyin
An all his fingers are testifyin
His two feet stompin in ragged time
That s a feelin that is so sublime - Y dig it?
He s generatin so much excitement
Y keep forgettin just what uptight meant
N that s that fella named Porter King
His style s the essence o Swing
(Well, well, well)
Oh, well, go on n tell it
Cheryl s solo:
When Jelly first heard Porter King
He declared he heard the very heart an soul of swing
A certain ragged kind o romp
in between a jump and a stomp
When Jelly heard, well, he really knew
because he played too
That Porter was a King, really n truly a stone king
Another thing, somethin never heard of
"Somethin else" is the sort o phrase
A fella d prob ly have t use
if e was gonna describe
the way Porter plays
There never was - an never s gonna be
another strider fine as he
I know no other ear will ever hear another like it here.
Cheryl s solo background:
Who you hunchin ?
Dig them stompin
See them bunchin
They rompn
Sweat is poppin
Hips re rollin
Funk is droppin
Souls soulin
Heat is massin
Folks re swingin
Time is passin
Arms flingin
There s contagion
Takin over
Swing is ragin
All over
Janis solo:
Hey!!!
Stop that!!!
That stomp knocked me outta my hat!
Who s that abusin piano?
Tell me his name, because he s boun f fame
N how d he figure such rhythm?
Did he bring it here with im?
What kinda cat is King Porter?
Plinkin an plunkin that romp he calls a stomp.
Janis solo backgrounds:
Everybody groovin and gigglin
Mercy! Take a look at that wigglin
See the cutie in the corner
She s losin her blues by stompin outta her shoes
The folks are hoopin n hoppin
Dig how all the fingers re poppin
Over there s a wild cat stone drunk
The floor be his bunk.
Tim s solo:
Stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp
Just keep on ballin till we
start fallin right through the floor
It s so natch ral
You want more?
Come - git it!
Porter - he s the King!
He knows how to stomp an swing,
That s King Porter
Master of how to stomp
Tim s solo backgrounds:
Outside the moon is beamin
Inside the joint is steamin
Them folks can really, really party
All night long
Porter s stompin
Gits everybody rompin
Then everybody knows that one thing
Porter s king.
Who s the absolute Master of Stomp?
King Porter!
The rollicking Rajah of Romp?
King Porter!
The plinkin est plunker
This side o the border?
Who? Except King Porter
Who is the King of the Keys?
King Porter!
An constantly able to please?
King Porter!
An who tickles ivories like nobody livin ?
That s King Porter! He s the man!
