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.
