Lyrics
Way out in Kansas City on one, two street, they say that there's a guy they call Pig Foot Pete.

He plays piano, by ear, and he'll play all night for pig's feet and beer. He's "murder" on the eighty eight, he's the guy who brought the Boogie Woogie up to date.

He's got a cannon, in his left hand, and a rifle, in his right, he's just a double barrelled "gate", and he shoots the eight beats to you at a fright'nin' rate.

He's just a solid "wiz", I'll tell you who he is, he's Pig Foot Pete of Boogie Woogie's elite.

His hands are just as big as Virginia hams, and when they go to work they're like battrin' rams,

and when he plays on, that box, the joint rocks! Until you're beat to your sox. Wherever boogie, is part of the plan, you'll find Pig Foot Pete, the Boogie Woogie man.

He's got a cannon, in his left hand, and a rifle, in his right, he's just a double barrelled "gate", and he shoots the eight beats to you at a fright'nin' rate.

He's just a solid "wiz", I'll tell you who he is, he's Pig Foot Pete of Boogie Woogie's elite.

His hands are just as big as Virginia hams, and when they go to work they're like battrin' rams,

and when he plays on, that box, the joint rocks! Until you're beat to your sox. Wherever boogie, is part of the plan, you'll find Pig Foot Pete, the Boogie Woogie man.

They call him Pig Foot, The Boogie Woogie man
