Thomas "Fats" Waller One of the old-time geniuses of the keyboard was Thomas "Fats" Waller. His delightful lyrics and "Stride Piano" style are timeless. In his short 39 years he composed well over 450 tunes and influenced a number of musical styles. Fats Waller once said that the organ was his heart but the piano was his stomach. So, while he was best known for his piano work, which paid the bills, he really loved playing the pipe organ. We hope you enjoy this 1939 recording entitled "Your Feet's Too Big" as much as we do.

Mercy   Sounds like baby patter.   Baby elephant patter, that's what I calls it       Say, up in Harlem at a table for two.   There were four of us: Me, your big feet, and you.   From your ankles up I'll say you sure are sweet.   From there down there's just too much feet.       Yes, your feet's too big!   Don't want you 'cause your feet's too big.   Can't use you 'cause your feet's too big.   I really hate you 'cause your feet's too big.       Where'd you get em?       Your girl she likes you, she thinks you're nice.   Got what it takes to be in paradise.   She said she likes you face, she likes your ring.   Man, oh, man them things are too big.       Ah, your feet's too big.   Don't want you 'cause your feet's too big.   Mad at you 'cause your feet's too big.   I hate you 'cause your feet's too big.            < Musical interlude >       Oh, your pedal extremities are colossal.   To me you look just like a fossil.   Got me walking, talking, and squawking.   'Cause your feet's too big, yeah.       Come on and walk that thing!   Oh, I never heard of such walking. Mercy.       You know, your pedal extremities really are obnoxious. (One never knows, do one?)     One never knows, do one?
