[Am][D][Am][G]
[Am][D][G][Am][Dm][G]
[Dm]Music

[Verse 1]
soothes the savage, [D]that's [Am]a well- known [C]phrase[A]
[Am]But your[Dm] heart becomes full[G]
of kettle drum[Am]s
When the [Dm]sweet potato piper [Am]plays
[D]Go on, throw your hat [Dm]off,
[Am]shout a few hoorays[C]
[A]'Ca[Am]use you can't hold back,[F]
you're a jumping [Am]jack
When the [D]sweet [G]potato piper
[Am]plays[C]
[Am]Though it's not

[Verse 2]
a magic flute,
there's a [C]fascin[Am]ating toot
[C]It's not ex[Am]actly [G]beautiful,
[Am]it's sorta like an "I- don't- know"
I guess you'd [G]call it cute
Sun[Dm]beams try new dance steps,
song[Am]birds sound their ayes
And the world joins [F]in with
a great [G]big [Am]grin
When the sweet [Dm]potato [Am]piper [G]plays
[Am][C][Am][F][C][Am][C]

[Verse 3]
[Am]
[F]Hello the[Am]re, 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

[Verse 4]
Why don't [Am]you stick to your saxophone,
man?
You ought to know you can't [F]jam on a yam
