BERTIE & COMPANY
Who's the man you've all been sitting there anticipating?
Whos' the man with his instrument ready, willing and waiting?
Who's the man for whom your breath has been eagerly baiting?
If I hadn't already confessed it
You'd no doubt already have guessed it
Banjo boy, banjo boy, play a number for me
Won't you play that melody?
When you start your plain' - Mama starts a-swayin'
She's right there with 'em - stompin' that rhythym
Banjo boy, banjo boy, play the razzamatazz
You're the sunny southland's king
You set Dixie hummin' it - when you started strummin' it
See those fingers goin'
When you start to syncopate
Songbirds seem to orchestrate
The Swanee stops it's flowin'
Just hear him play
Who can plunk your heartstrings full of joy
That's banjo boy
COMPANY
Hear him go
Don't you know
Love him so
Let him swing
And do his thing
He's the king
Ring-a-ding
BERTIE & COMPANY
Banjo boy, banjo boy, you're the musical sun
In those southern sunny skies
Feet will start their fidgets - see those magic digits
Hands are a clappin' - fingers a snappin'
Banjo boy, banjo boy, play that favourite tune
That the old folks love to sing
Can't you hear the people cry
Wann see those fingers fly
COMPANY
Listen to him playin'
Can't you hear those children roar
Dixie's shoutin' out for more
Hear the steamboats blowin'
Eight to the bar
Who's that cotton pickin' hunk of joy?
That golden kid that fashion can't destroy?
Whose name they shout from Maine to Illinois?
That's banjo boy!
Banjo boy!
I wanna 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 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 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 to sell-out shows
The only problem is I play the banjo, I play the banjo
Well, I play the banjo
Play the banjo, play the banjo
I play the banjo, I play the banjo
Well, I play the banjo
Play the banjo, play the banjo
I play the banjo, I play the banjo
I say hear me boys, here my rhyme
I'm picking on the banjo all the time
I say hear me boys, here my song
Picking on the banjo all day long, picking
I have a Lear 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
Well, I play the banjo
Play the banjo, play the banjo
I play the banjo, I play the banjo
Well, I play the banjo
Play the banjo, play the banjo
Well, I play the banjo, I play the banjo
Well, 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
