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 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, 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
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
Pick
I'll buy 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
I play the banjo
Play the banjo
Play the banjo
I play the banjo
