papa was a wit kid
everybody say so
wore his lit jacket and his carried around the banjo
couldn't even play it
just lied it was heaven
made him walk slower
one foot standen
one day, down by the corner of the block
over heared the kids of the neigborhood talk
papa banjo please
doesn't even know ablout
girl town alice on the cosby show
theres no town like the present
in that old style
soon men will forget it
theres got to be some changes around here
so sick of this life, been liven it for years
papa cought a bad break
everybody say so
headed down to the lake
sleepin, picken banjo
picken in the mornin
right through new time
singin for supper, weightin in the soup line
callin bad boots and campouflage jeans
got a fake ID and georgia mories
flawed on all the major wars
real veitnam and opperation lets go
theres no town like the present
in that old style
soon men will forget it
theres got to be some changes around here
so sick of this life, been liven it for years
bobby can't you hear me
its time to come home
the boards need mending and the grass if over grown
father made a new home
rusted with a bagel
read the daily paper
to see what he don't know
learned what he wasn't
wished that he was
he had a hard time sleepin because
papa got a vist
from these little green men
his are all ready, hands down
he wants the world to end
these little men starin at the TV
grinning at the programs
so papa watched everden
bobby new the answers
should have seen the questions
everyone he got right
one less problem
the green men have these image
new cloths to try on
he got'em to eat healthy
pumpen little irons
new town kids
and I want them to know
hey its me old papa banjo
i married carly jeans
in my so called life
dreamin for now stuff
bobby banjo easy style life
theres no town like the present
in that old style
soon men will forget it
theres got to be some changes around here
so sick of this life, been liven it for years
theres no town like the present
in that old style
soon men will forget it
theres got to be some changes around here
so sick of this life, been liven it for years
(bobby banjo)
if I don't start soon I think I'll forget
(bobby can you hear me)
so sick of this life been liven it for years
