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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Well well well[00:00:58]

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

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

Soul of swing[00:01:05]

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

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

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

Because he played too[00:01:14]

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

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

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

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

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

The way Porter plays[00:01:30]

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

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

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

Like it here[00:01:40]

Hey stop that[00:01:43]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Stomp stomp stomp stomp[00:02:03]

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

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

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

You want more[00:02:11]

Come git it[00:02:12]

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

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

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

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

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

King Porter[00:02:26]

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

King Porter[00:02:29]

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

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

Who Except King Porter[00:02:32]

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

King Porter[00:02:36]

An' constantly able to please[00:02:37]

King Porter[00:02:39]

An' who tickles ivories like nobody livin'[00:02:40]

That's King Porter he's the man[00:02:43]

Unloosen yo' shoes[00:02:45]

Unloosen yo' shoes[00:02:46]

Start payin' them dues[00:02:47]

Start payin' them dues[00:02:49]

Git shed o' them blues[00:02:50]

Git shed o' them[00:02:51]

Dang them blue you don't shed 'em you lose[00:02:52]

Spend a quarter[00:02:56]

Spend a quarter[00:02:57]

Give the order[00:02:58]

Give the order[00:02:59]

Mr Porter[00:03:01]

Mister Barrellhouse man git t' stompin'[00:03:02]

Make 'em git hot git 'em rompin[00:03:05]

The got t' dig King Porter stomp[00:03:07]
