Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Yellow Banjo / Old Banjo / Banjo Song
this is tricky to write, my version is slightly different, just one more line and slight adaptation to some endings, i suppose everyone has a differnt version, i often wonder which country this come from also? if you want to phone me i'll sing it to you, can do this in italian (like pavoroti) sexy italian or spanish, deep like a big fat tenor (think dolmio pasta ad :)

i learnt this song on a family road trip when i was 9, we drove for hours squished into our 4wd thru the outback of australia - here we go:

I ululused to playlaylay my yellellow banjololo
And restlelest it ononon my knee-knee-kneeknee
But nownynow the strililings have brololoken sooo
Its nololo more ululused to me-me-me

I tooloolook it toolooloo the melelenders shololop
To see-alee what he-alee could do-a-do-do

But now the strililings are brololoken sololo
Its nololo more ululused to you-you-you
And now it's nololo more used to me-me-me-me
