- Chorus:
- Hey, Mister Banjo,
play a tune for me,
Play, Mister Banjo, a happy melody.
We'll all clap our hands and we'll stamp our feet,
You keep strummin' while we keep the beat.
Play, Mister Banjo, a pretty melody.
-
- Hey, Mr. Banjo, plunk another
tune,
Hurry, Mr. Banjo, the night ends all too soon.
Make your banjo talk while we dance and sing,
Do a fancy walk while you pick the strings.
Hey, Mr. Banjo, plunk a tune for me.
