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. 

Chorus
Well I play the banjo, 
Play the banjo, 
Play the banjo, 
I play the banjo. 
I play the banjo. 

(Repeat Chorus once.) 

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. 

(Repeat Chorus 3 times.) 

I play the banjo, 
Play the banjo, 
Play the banjo, 
I play the banjo.
