PINE TOP'S BOOGIE
(Norman Gimbel / C P Smith)

as recorded by Jo Stafford
with Frank De Vol & his Orchestra
April 6th 1959 Los Angeles


There's a fella,
Plays piano,
Made o' pine wood,
Really pine wood.
You should know him,
Folks who know him
Call him Pine Top,
Just Pine Top,
'Cause Pine Top is his name!

He plays a tricky boogie beat
That makes you wanna slap your feet.
The show begins at nine o'clock
And then the room begins to rock!
Got a mellow kind o' style,
You can spot it from a mile!
Plays piano in a groove,
It says, "Get up, go on and move!"
Dressed in any way you please,
Evenin' gown or dungarees,
To lead me down Pine Top's ways!

Pine Top, don't stop!
He plays and plays!
Pine Top, don't stop!
He plays and plays!
Pine Top, don't stop!
He plays and plays!

Pine Top, don't stop!
He plays and plays!
Pine Top, don't stop!
He plays and plays!
Pine Top, don't stop!
He plays and plays!
That Pine Top,
That Pine Top boogie beat!
