One Moonlight Night!
Banjo/Accordion intro
OneDm moonlight night in the bayou a Bbsilhouette
The Fair was sweet and the foCg was vi-o-let
The Dmgators were all drinking tea, in a dreamBby pantsless glee
I saFw a suspendered man, a banjoC holstered in his hands.
He hDmad biggest red suspenders I ever did see, golly geeBb that's what I've seen
He fFlicked the brim of his hat, and this is whatC he said to me.
&quoDmt;Mister robot ah am The BbSuspender Man
And Fdis banjo 'as shown me dahC promised land.
Now Dmah play a song but in return, yoo put dBbat shiny coin right 'ere in mah urn.
And Fah play yoo sumfin fine. Mah music gonnaC blow yo mind!"
So IDm flicked my coin into his pot, I gotta adGmmit it twasn't a lot
Two cents and thenDm his fingers wriggled,
he plucked those sCtrings and belched a giggle.
He tapped his footDm, howled like a hound
IgnitGming up the unholy soDmund.
And I ain't never, never,Dm never, never, never, never, never, never,
never, never, never, neveAm7r, never, never, never, never,
never, never, never, neveCr, never, heard anything so grDmeat.
Call Dmthe vendors.
Big SBbuspenders.
That'Fs what everybody wanCts to wearDm.
They Dmstretch to Nantucket.
Put tBbhem in a bucket
And sFend them to the gnome traCpped down the wDmell
(Tug 'em witDmh thumbs is ideal)
(While rolliDmn' back on your heels)
Dm (Let ring)
(Yeah)
He played the two cent show
And just likDme that he stopped playing
My jaw droppBbed to the floor.
He cracked hFis neck and smiled at me, And said,
"Buddy,C y'gotta pay for more!"
But by then Dma crowd had swarmed the swamp,
tossin' coinBb in after coin.
So he cleareDmd his throat, and his fingerDms writhed,
and everyoneBb shouted for Suspender Guy.Dm
Call thDme vendors
Big SusBbpenders
That's Fwhat grandma wants Cfor her birthdayDm
They'reDm bright red and awesome
Even woBbrn by opossums
Nobody Fwants their pants tCo fall down Dm
(Ma andDm Pappy want 'em too)
(Even tDmhe ghost of your Uncle Stu)
Dm(let Ring)
(Yeah)
He played the two cent show
Fracture dat banjo!
(Under Banjo Solo)
Dm, Bb, F, C x4
All the chDmildren sing and dance
Those banjBbo sounds instill a trance
By 4 AM thDme press what hot
Suspender CMan on the front page spot
SuspendersDm were in and spats were out
The girls Bball suffered from fainting bouts
The banjosDm flew off the shelves
Sprouting Bbwings with dreFams
of being pClayed by SuspeDmnder Man.
But in theDm middle of February
the fog tuBbrned a crimson red
The SuspenFder Man disappeared,
everyone wCas heels over hDmead
But we fouDmnd his suspenders and that old banjo
sittin' riBbght here on his log
And thougDmh he's gone,
that's whDmat he gets
for selliCng his soul to the Dmbog
Big SDmuspenders
Put tBbhem in a blender
ThreeF bat teeth and a blackeCned gypsy eye Dm
BringDm it to a boil
ReleaBbse your mortal coil
Out pFops a belt to wear forC you and meDm-
NoboDmdy wants their pantCs to fall dDmown-
YouDm could wear a dress Cand then...you'd havDme no need
(The alligDmators had it right)
(Wearing pDmants it sure does bite)
Dm (let ring)
(Yeah)
He played the two cent shDmow......
End..
