Lyrics
Wonder what they're strumming, twangin' on so rude It's no wonder my ears are begging for a truce The screech of the strings is relentless and harsh My soul is sinking with every single clash I gotta tell ya, naw Listen closely can't you hear it's time to cease and desist But they keep on strummin' on my last nerve they play Grating on my senses like a hound out to bay The wails and the thrums, they collide in despair My patience is crumbling but they don't seem to care Oh, mercy me, please Somebody make that banjo flee, and give me some of that sweet peace Now here comes that old banjo pluckin' once again Each twang and plunk's a jab, driving me insane It ain't nothing personal, just tone ain't my taste Wish that banjo blues would scatter without a trace Oh, the twiddle dee, no more I'm begging for some silence, or a different score Like a raven's caw in the mornin' light It just ain't soothing, it just ain't right Wish they'd trade that thing for a steel guitar Slide it slow under the stars Lord, pull the plug, I beseech On that high-pitched, relentless screech
