Traditional Lyrics:

See Mister Banjo, See Mister Banjo, Strutting along the street.
See Mister Banjo, See Mister Banjo, Strutting along the street.
Hat cocked on one side, Mister Banjo. Golden sparkley vest, Mister Banjo.
See Mister Banjo, See Mister Banjo, Strutting along the street.

 

See Mister Banjo, See Mister Banjo, Walk like a millionaire.
See Mister Banjo, See Mister Banjo, Walk like a millionaire.
Boots that glow and shine, Mister Banjo. Yellow gloves so fine, Mister Banjo.
See Mister Banjo, See Mister Banjo, Walk like a millionaire.

 

Pete Seeger Lyrics:

Look at the dandy, oh there Mister Banjo, Doesn't he put on airs.
Hat cocked on one side, Mister Banjo, Walkin' a-stick in his hand.
Hat cocked on one side, Mister Banjo, Walkin' a-stick in his hand.
Look at the dandy, oh there Mister Banjo, Doesn't he put on airs.

 

Look at the dandy, oh there Mister Banjo, Doesn't he put on airs.
Boots that go crank, crank, Mister Banjo, Yellow gloves, my eye.
Boots that go crank, crank, Mister Banjo, Yellow gloves, my eye.
Look at the dandy, oh there Mister Banjo, Doesn't he put on airs.
