[00:00.00]Stomp Of King Porter - The Manhattan Transfer
[00:01.27]Gather roun' 'n hear my story
[00:03.61]'Bout the time when Jelly Roll was in town
[00:07.12]He heard a local pianist
[00:09.04]Stompin' out music on an old upright piano
[00:12.44]That was downright ragged in a Scott Joplin way
[00:15.97]Ol' Jelly knew the fella could play
[00:18.12]By the things he heard his right hand say
[00:22.17]When Jelly Roll demanded his name
[00:24.13]Well the man responded Porter King
[00:27.09]Well Jelly lef' th' city but he wrote
[00:29.43]A rompin' ditty 'bout the Porter
[00:30.89]Who was King O' The Stomp
[00:33.13]Jelly wrote a ditty 'bout a fella who could romp
[00:35.80]This is the tune King Porter Stomp
[00:38.73]When Porter's stridin' hands are flyin'
[00:41.42]An' all his fingers are testifyin'
[00:43.76]His two feet stompin' in ragged time
[00:46.60]That's a feelin' that is so sublime y' dig it
[00:49.53]He's generatin' so much excitement
[00:52.09]Y' keep forgettin' just what uptight meant
[00:54.52]N' that's that fella named Porter King
[00:57.25]His style's the essence o' swing
[00:58.92]Well well well
[01:00.05]Jelly first heard Porter King
[01:03.01]He declared he heard the very heart an'
[01:05.84]Soul of swing
[01:07.74]A certain ragged kind o' romp
[01:09.25]In between a jump and a stomp
[01:12.31]When Jelly heard well he really knew
[01:14.43]Because he played too
[01:17.56]That Porter was a King
[01:20.38]Really n' truly a stone king
[01:22.23]Another thing somethin' never heard of
[01:25.72]Somethin' else is the sort o' phrase
[01:27.63]A fella'd prob'ly have t'use
[01:30.26]The way Porter plays
[01:32.96]There never was an never's gonna be
[01:35.16]Another strider fine as he
[01:36.74]I know no other ear will ever hear another
[01:40.37]Like it here
[01:43.38]Hey stop that
[01:45.10]That stomp knocked me outta my hat
[01:48.20]Who's that abusin' piano

[01:53.48]'N how'd he figure such rhythm
[01:56.04]Did he bring it here with I'm
[01:59.24]What kinda cat is King Porter
