Jazz Potato - ©2018 Chris Conway,
The old jazz life was getting hard in this town,
When more and more piano bars were closing down.
Things didn’t work out the way I planned,
Now I’m a jazz piano player in an Irish band.
(chorus)
Diddly diddly dumty dumty - (diddly diddly dumpty dumtpy)
Shooby dooby doo - (shooby dooby doo)
I’m a jazz potato - (I’m a jazz potato)
I'm a jazz hot potato - (I'm a jazz hot potato.)
I'm a jazz hot potato in an Irish stew.
It started one morning, top o' the mornin’ ,
Suddenly at the piano without any warning,
My fingers started picking out a jig and a reel
And couldn’t seem to shake off that Irish feel.
(chorus)
(bridge)
An Irish lady saw me play, she said, “I like what you do,
Coz some of the notes you play are more green than blue”
She said, “I'm a fiddle player, wont you play with me?”
Now I'm playing in a band with a real banshee.
I went and told my momma what was going down.
Her voice started shaking and she started to frown.
“I should’ve told you before”, she said, “please understand,
But your real daddy was an Irishman.”
(chorus)
(The Lilting Banshee trad. Irish tune)
(chorus)
