He's a groovy swinging guy
With the rock and roll banjo band
I got a sweet little guy
Who lives down the street
But nobody knows his name
Everybody was sad
And feeling so bad
But that was before he came
Now everybody in the neighborhood
Seems to walk with a steady beat
By the rhythm of
The guy with the rock and roll banjo band
The way he plays that thing
It makes my poor heart ring
I'm gonna marry that guy someday
If you wanna know
Why I love him so
Then you ought to come and hear him play
From the dawn to the sunset
He keeps a-strumming on his banjo strings
He's the groovy swinging guy
With the rock and roll banjo band
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
The way he plays that thing
It makes my poor heart ring
I'm gonna marry that guy someday
If you wanna know
Why I love him so
Then you ought to come and hear him play
From the dawn to the sunset
He keeps a-strumming on his banjo strings
He's the groovy swinging guy
With the rock and roll banjo band
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
He's the groovy swinging guy
With the rock and roll banjo band
He's the groovy swinging guy
