PICKING ON THE BANJO

PICKING ON THE BANJO

When I pick on a banjo
it’s like a bully pickin’ on you
for your lunch money

In high school I tortured a trumpet
hitting the high notes and the low
with many a glancing blow

While Johnny’s boy, damn his hide,
could pick up any instrument

Didn’t have to think or practice
or anything
the music just told him where to put his fingers
