Lyrics

Funky Banjo
Words and Music by Ben Smith

We were cruisin rolling down the road
Looking for a place to break out the 6 string and fire up that old pig nose
Then we saw him walking down the track
It was a long-legged white-haired hillbilly he had a banjo around his neck
And he said, pardon me boys mind if I play along
I could put some Funky banjo in your song

Funky banjo we said hey you ever heard of ZZ Top
He said no We said you ever heard Stevie Ray Vaughn rock
He said no We said you ever heard of Baylah Fleck
He said no but don't worry about that because they ain't heard of me yet

Yeah pardon me boys I'd just like to play along
And put some funky banjo in your song

What is funky banjo...whoa white boy can play
Play that funky banjo

Yeah he said pardon me boys I'd just like to play along
And put some funky banjo in your song

Here he goes again...slow that thing down a notch or two

Strings and fingers and sparks was flying that day
Ain't no doubt hillbilly boy can play

He said I'd join your band if you think I was good enough
He said truth be known I think I was kicking ya'lls butt

Yeah pardon me boys I'd just like to play along
And put some funky banjo in your song
Yeah pardon me boys I'd just like to play along
And put some funky banjo in your song
Yeah pardon me boys I'd just like to play along
And put some funky banjo in your song
