Alice: How come I've never heard Timmy Fretwork play his banjo? Alice: Maybe his banjo playing is so unearthly and so sweetly euphonic that all subsequent sounds strike you as dull and uninspiring? And he's trying to spare us that. Kevin: Maybe he's a big fake who uses the banjo to pick up chicks. Alice: Aah! Beni: Watch out, chicks! You can't tie down a Banjo Man!
It’s nine o’clock on a WednesdayThe regular crowd rushed right in.There’s crayons and glitter in front of themAs Dill gave Alice a big grin.
He says, “Tommy Fretwork’s work is euphonic!No other banjos have such sound!The strumming’s sad and so sweet"Benni knows something ‘bout Tommy:“You can’t tie the Banjo Man down"
Sing us a song, Mr. Banjo Man.Sing us a song tonight.Well we’re all in the mood for a melodyand “Waddle, Waddle, Cluck, Cluck” seems just right!"
(apologies to everyone, including Billy Joel)
