Ryan Shupe & The Rubberband – Banjo Boy lyrics

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
I play the banjo
