MARTHA RAYE
A great music and dance number from the 1940's and the Abbott & Costello film, "Keep 'Em Flying." That's Freddie Slack at the piano. ( post. 5-1-13 )

Por lo que parece el tema esta dedicado a un pianista " fan " de los pies de cerdo....... y de la cerveza ! ....
Way out in Kansas City on one, two street, they
say that there's a guy they call Pig Foot Pete.
He plays piano, by ear, and he'll
play all night for pig's feet and beer.
He's "murder" on the eighty eight, he's the
guy who brought the Boogie Woogie up to date.
He's got a cannon, in his left hand, and a ri-
fle, in his right, he's just a double barrelled
"gate",
and he shoots the eight beats to you at a fright'nin' rate.
He's just a solid "wiz", I'll tell you who he is, he's
Pig Foot Pete of Boogie Woogie's elite.
His hands are just as big as Virginia hams, and
when they go to work they're like battrin' rams,
and when he plays on, that box, the joint
rocks!
Until you're beat to your sox. Wherever
boogie, is part of the plan, you'll find
Pig Foot Pete, the Boogie Woogie man.
