歌曲歌詞
Gather roun' 'n hear my story
'Bout the time when Jelly Roll was in town
He heard a local pianist
Stompin' out music on an old upright piano
That was downright ragged in a Scott Joplin way
Ol' Jelly knew the fella could play
By the things he heard his right hand say
When Jelly Roll demanded his name
Well the man responded Porter King
Well Jelly lef' th' city but he wrote
A rompin' ditty 'bout the Porter
Who was King O' The 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
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
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
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 I'm
What kinda cat is King Porter
Plinkin' an' plunkin' that romp he calls a stomp
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
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
Unloosen yo' shoes
Unloosen yo' shoes
Start payin' them dues
Start payin' them dues
Git shed o' them blues
Git shed o' them
Dang them blue you don't shed 'em you lose
Spend a quarter
Spend a quarter
Give the order
Give the order
Mr Porter
Mister Barrellhouse man git t' stompin'
Make 'em git hot git 'em rompin
The got t' dig King Porter stomp
