about

Dedicated to Howie Wyeth

lyrics

Playing the piano was his bag
A little Fats Waller or some Maple Leaf Rag
Or a golden oldie like Ain't She Sweet
He could play all night and never repeat
I'd hear a sound like beating on a drum
But that's not where the beat was coming from
It came from down below out of view
And he kept it a size twelve shoe

Left foot, it showed when to come in
Left foot, he'd smile with a toothy grin
Left foot, like a heartbeat pitter pat pat
I never heard a left foot like that

People in the bar would turn around
As soon as they heard that sound
All the time his left foot was on a roll
Pounding like a hammer on my soul
He would bang on the keys and the strings would pop
But we kept on playing we would never stop
It was all as easy as opening a door
With his left foot pounding on the floor

Left foot, it showed when to come in
Left foot, he'd smile with a toothy grin
Left foot, like a heartbeat pitter pat pat
I never heard a left foot like that

He don't play no more, but the beat goes on
I hear it my head and I play along
Now I tell everyone I meet
I wish I had two left feet

Left foot, it showed when to come in
Left foot, he'd smile with a toothy grin
Left foot, like a heartbeat pitter pat pat
I never heard a left foot like that
