Who's that comin', who's that strummin'? That's the man with the banjo For a penny he'll play any Song that's happy and gay Folks all smile and stop a while Because the man with the banjo Makes their troubles burst like bubbles Chasing worries away See the children running after While he plays his merry song All their hearts are filled with laughter As they tag along. Shadows fallin', sandman's callin' There goes the man with the banjo Gaily hummin', softly strummin' On his merry old way Instrumental break, featuring banjo solo. See the children running after, While he plays his merry song. All their hearts are filled with laughter, (as they tag along.) Shadows fallin', sandman's callin' There goes the man with the banjo Gaily hummin', softly strummin' On his merry old way
