In
a
little
honky-tonky
village
in
Texas
Dans
un
petit
village

au
Texas
There's
a
guy
who
plays
the
best
piano
by
far
Il
y
a
un
gars
qui

le
meilleur
piano
de
loin
He
can
play
piano
any
way
that
you
like
it

But
the
way
he

to
play
is
eight
to
the
bar
Mais

c'est
huit

it's
a

He's
the

gather
around
when
he
gets
on
the
stand
Les

sur

Then
when
he
plays,
he
gets
a

Puis
quand
il
joue,
il

des
applaudissements
The
rhythm
he
beats
puts
the
cats
in
a
trance
Le
rythme
qu'il
bat
met
les
chats
en
transe
Nobody
there
bothers
to

with
the
bass
and
guitar
