The Ballad of Wanderin' Christie VERSE #1 I went out to buy a git-tar I'd never played one of those things The salesclerk, he said "Are you screwed in the head Of course they just have five strings" I went back home and called up a friend He said, "Five? They only have four That guy jerked your chain That fifth string's in vain A guitarist don't need any more." CHORUS: So, needless to say I'm hoo-miliated And hurt...by theee whole event This may seem like a dumb question But thank y'all for letting me vent VERSE #2 I went to a neighbourhood folk jam Although I wasn't so great I tried to play along But most every song Had chords that I couldn't equate Finally, something familiar Was started, so I played some more When a man with some pliers Cut off my string-wires And threw my guitar on the floor (chorus) VERSE #3 I went out to play my first gig When somebody shouted, "You SUCK!" I sang of the weather And got tarred and feathered By the plumage of some poor old duck My four-string guitar was taken from me And glued to the front of my brow Now I can't get it off And each time I cough An E-minor rings out so loud (chorus) Yes thank y'all for letting me vent!
