Clap your hands all together, now, The Banjo's Back In Town!

Slap your hands, lovely weather, now, The Banjo's Back In Town.

Kick your heels to the ringin' of the plunkin' swingin' through,

What a sound, round and round, and then Do wacka do wacka do!

You gotto step your feet to the rhythm back in nineteen twenty-five

Get that beat keep the rhythm alive.

If someone's yellin', "Oh no!" Just tell 'em, "Vo-de-o-do!"

Hotcha, the Ban' Ban' The Banjo's Back In Town.
