Banjo,  Banjo,  Banjo,  Banjo,  on my knee,
Oh,  let me hear that Banjo,  Banjo play sweet harmony;
It keeps a ringin' and ringin' in your heart,
It keeps a swingin' and swingin' from the very start.
Oh,  let me hear that Banjo,  Banjo play that melody,
Ragtime,  jazztime,  swingtime just for you and me;
And while you're merrily hummin' the banjo's merrily strummin'.
 
First Ending
Jazz it up,  swing it up,  play those melodies.
 
Second Ending
Banjo,  Banjo,  Banjo,  Banjo play those melodies.
