- Verse:
- Ev'ry day as I go by his
window, I can see him plinka plunk away;
- Practicing his happy banjo
music, And at times like this I always say;
-
- Chorus:
- Play a song, play a song,
little Banjo Boy,
- Banjo Boy, Banjo Boy,
- Sing along, sing along,
little Banjo Boy,
- Sing your carefree melody.
- Ev'ry plink, plinka, plinka,
plink sends a happy feeling through my heart,
- Who can think, thinka, thinka,
think of a worry when your plink plunk starts.
- Bright and clear let me
hear your sweet song of joy,
- Play for me, Banjo Boy.
