(The Man With The) Rock And Roll Banjo Band

(Clarence Paul/Berry Gordy)



He's a groovy swinging guy



With the rock and roll banjo band



I got a sweet little guy



Who lives down the street



But nobody knows his name



Everybody was sad and feeling so bad



But that was before he came



Now everybody in the neighborhood



Seems to walk with a steady beat



By the rhythm of the guy



With the rock and roll banjo band



The way he plays that thing



It makes my poor heart ring



I'm gonna marry that guy someday



If you wanna know why I love him so



Then you ought to come and hear him play



From the dawn to the sunset



He keeps a-strumming on his banjo strings



He's the groovy swinging guy



With the rock and roll banjo band



Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah



The way he plays that thing



It makes my poor heart ring



I'm gonna marry that guy someday



If you wanna know why I love him so



Then you ought to come and hear him play



From the dawn to the sunset



He keeps a-strumming on his banjo strings



He's the groovy swinging guy



With the rock and roll banjo band



Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah



He's the groovy swinging guy



With the rock and roll banjo band



He's the groovy swinging guy
