Song Lyrics to "Banjo Boy"
i want to be a rock star and travel really far
and buy me a big expensive car
and make lots of money
and find me a honey
and live in a nice big house
where it's sunny
with a pool and i'll be cool
i'll always have a gig 'cause i'll be big
i'll have parties and friends
and places to go
the only problem is
i play the banjo

i'm a post hee-haw mover
a funkadelic punk rock groover
a cross between bela fleck and
eddie vedder but better
i'll win a grammy for the way i pick
i'll be an instrumental monster
with tons of new licks
and all the babes will love me
sell out shows
the only problem is
i play the banjo

i play the banjo, play the banjo
play the banjo, i play the banjo

i'll have a leer jet and a limousine
and everywhere i go my fans will scream
"hey banjo boy we love you
i wish that we could all play the banjo too"
and you'll see me on the tv talk show
with dave and conan and jay leno
the only problem is
i play the banjo

hear me boys, hear my rhyme,
picking on the banjo all the time
hear me boys, hear my song,
picking on the banjo all day long
i say pick it
