Banjo Boy

Yeah!

I wanna be a rock star an' travel really far,
An' buy me a big expensive car.
An' make lottsa money an' find me a honey,
An' live in a nice big house where it's sunny,
With a pool: I'll be cool.
I'll always have a gig 'cause I'll be big.
I'll have parties an' friends an' places to go.
The only problem is: I play the banjo.

Well, I'm a post hee-haw mover,
A folkadelic punk rocker an'groover.
A cross between Bella Fleck an' Eddie Betta Vendetta,
A with the drummin' an' the way I pick,
I'll be an instrumental master with tons of new licks,
An' all the babes will love me: sell out shows.
The only problem is: I play the banjo.

I play the banjo.
I play the banjo, play the banjo, play the banjo.
I play the banjo. (I play the banjo.)
Now, I play the banjo, play the banjo, play the banjo.
I play the banjo. (I play the banjo.)

Instrumental break.

I'll have a Lear jet an' a limousine,
An' everywhere I go, my fans will scream:
"Hey, banjo boy, we love you,
"An' wish that we all could play the banjo too."
An' you'll see me on the TV talk shows,
With David Coen an' Jay Leno:
The only problem is a play the banjo.

I play the banjo.
Now, I play the banjo, play the banjo, play the banjo.
I play the banjo. (I play the banjo.)
I play the banjo, play the banjo, play the banjo.
I play the banjo. (I play the banjo.)

I say hear me boys, hear my rhyme.
Pickin' on my banjo all the time.
I say hear me boys, hear my song:
I'm pickin' on the banjo all day long.
I say pick it.
I say pick it.

I play the banjo.
I play the banjo, play the banjo, play the banjo.
I play the banjo. (I play the banjo.)
Now, I play the banjo, play the banjo, play the banjo.
I play the banjo. (I play the banjo.)

I play the banjo.
I play the banjo, play the banjo, play the banjo.
I play the banjo. (I play the banjo.)
I play the banjo, play the banjo, play the banjo.
I play the banjo. (I play the banjo.)

I play the banjo.
I play the banjo, play the banjo, play the banjo.
I play the banjo. (I play the banjo.)
I play the banjo, play the banjo, play the banjo.
I play the banjo. (I play the banjo.)
