《Stomp Of King Porter(LP版)》歌词

[00:00:00] Stomp Of King Porter (LP版) - The Manhattan Transfer (曼哈顿行者爵士)

[00:00:01] Gather roun' 'n hear my story

[00:00:03] 'Bout the time when Jelly Roll was in town

[00:00:07] He heard a local pianist

[00:00:09] Stompin' out music on an old upright piano

[00:00:12] That was downright ragged in a Scott Joplin way

[00:00:15] Ol' Jelly knew the fella could play

[00:00:18] By the things he heard his right hand say

[00:00:22] When Jelly Roll demanded his name

[00:00:24] Well the man responded Porter King

[00:00:27] Well Jelly lef' th' city but he wrote

[00:00:29] A rompin' ditty 'bout the Porter

[00:00:30] Who was King O' The Stomp

[00:00:33] Jelly wrote a ditty 'bout a fella who could romp

[00:00:35] This is the tune King Porter Stomp

[00:00:38] When Porter's stridin' hands are flyin'

[00:00:41] An' all his fingers are testifyin'

[00:00:43] His two feet stompin' in ragged time

[00:00:46] That's a feelin' that is so sublime y' dig it

[00:00:49] He's generatin' so much excitement

[00:00:52] Y' keep forgettin' just what uptight meant

[00:00:54] N' that's that fella named Porter King

[00:00:57] His style's the essence o' swing

[00:00:58] Well well well

[00:01:00] Jelly first heard Porter King

[00:01:03] He declared he heard the very heart an'

[00:01:05] Soul of swing

[00:01:07] A certain ragged kind o' romp

[00:01:09] In between a jump and a stomp

[00:01:12] When Jelly heard well he really knew

[00:01:14] Because he played too

[00:01:17] That Porter was a King

[00:01:20] Really n' truly a stone king

[00:01:22] Another thing somethin' never heard of

[00:01:25] Somethin' else is the sort o' phrase

[00:01:27] A fella'd prob'ly have t'use

[00:01:30] The way Porter plays

[00:01:32] There never was an never's gonna be

[00:01:35] Another strider fine as he

[00:01:36] I know no other ear will ever hear another

[00:01:40] Like it here

[00:01:43] Hey stop that

[00:01:45] That stomp knocked me outta my hat

[00:01:48] Who's that abusin' piano

[00:01:50] Tell me his name because he's boun' f' fame

[00:01:53] 'N how'd he figure such rhythm

[00:01:56] Did he bring it here with I'm

[00:01:59] What kinda cat is King Porter

[00:02:00] Plinkin' an' plunkin' that romp he calls a stomp

[00:02:03] Stomp stomp stomp stomp

[00:02:06] Just keep on ballin' till we

[00:02:07] Start fallin' right through the floor

[00:02:10] It's so natch'ral

[00:02:11] You want more

[00:02:12] Come git it

[00:02:14] Porter he's the King

[00:02:16] He knows how to stomp an' swing

[00:02:20] That's King Porter

[00:02:22] Master of how to stomp

[00:02:24] The absolute master of stomp

[00:02:26] King Porter

[00:02:27] The rollicking Rajah of Romp

[00:02:29] King Porter

[00:02:29] The plinkin'est plunker

[00:02:31] This side o' the border

[00:02:32] Who Except King Porter

[00:02:35] Who is the King of the keys

[00:02:36] King Porter
