Subject: Lyr Req: Yellow Banjo
At a musical soiree last night in honour of a friend's birthday, I was asked if I knew a song called something like 'Yellow Banjo'

Well after they sang some half remembered snippets, it sounded really good.

They sang this:

I ululused to playlaylay my yellellow banjololo
And pululut it ololon my knee-alee-alee-aleee
But nololow the strililings have brololoken dowlowlown
Its nololo more ululused to me-alee-alee-aleee

I tooloolook it toolooloo the melelenders shololop
To see-alee what he-alee could do-aloo-aloo-aloo
He seleled the strililings are brololoken dowlowlown
Its nololo more ululused to you-aloo-aloo-aloo

And nowlowlow its sililits upololon the shelelelf
Abololove the kililitchen door-alor-alor-alor

*********

The looloo, alee-alee etc bits sounded a little like yodelling!

Does anyone know the rest of the words & origins, please?
