It was going pop 
And it couldn't stop 
Now it's number one, 
Thanks to Tom the piper's Son. 
Tom, Tom, the piper's Son 
Stole a tune and away he run 

And away run he 
With that melody 
Tom was hot, the tune was sweet 
But he revamped it with a new off-beat 
And the classic thing, 
Got a shot of swing 
Mr. Brahms cried och! 
So did Mozart and Bach 

And to hear them rave 
Paginini tumbled over in his grave 
And now that tune, that no one played 
Has stepped right up and hit the hit parade 
It was growing pop 
And it couldn't, STOP! 
Now it's number one thanks to Tom the piper's son. 

(Chorus with swing ;) 
Tom was hot, the tune was sweet 
But he vamped it with a boogie beat 
And the classic thing, 

Got a shot of swing 
Beethoven turned gray 
So did Debussy and Bose 
It was such a stew 
Tchaikovsky said "I'm gonna sue!" 
And now that tune, that no one played 
Has stepped right up and hit the hit parade 
It was growing pop and it couldn't, stop... 
Now it's number one thanks to Tom the piper's son. 

Every Little Movement 
Every little movement, 
Has a meaning of it's own 
Every thought and feeling, 
By some posture can be shown. 
And every love thought 
That comes a stealing 
All your being Must be revealing 
All it's sweetness In some appealing little gesture 
All of it's own.
