Fedora Possums

(Verse 1) (Banjo pickin' - quick and cheerful) My pickup truck's a rust bucket, held together with spite Got a bumper sticker braggin' 'bout my nonexistent wife Yeah, I date disaster, romance ain't my forte Last gal I courted, well, let's just say she stole my boat (Banjo - slow and mournful) (Verse 2) Tried city slickin' once, thought I'd be a star Ended up slingin' burgers at a place called "Mars Bar" Bossman was a weirdo with a comb-over and a grin Kept quoting Shakespeare while I flipped beyond thin (Banjo - playful and fast) (Chorus) Hey, life in the country's a comical parade Where the possums wear fedoras and the chickens serenade Got a pet armadillo named Earl, thinks he's a guard dog too Just another Saturday night in this hick-town zoo (Banjo - slow and twangy) (Verse 3) Went fishin' with Jebediah, a man of dubious smell He baited his hook with cheese puffs, said it was a fishin' spell Ended up catchin' a catfish wearin' a rhinestone vest Jebediah fainted dead away, blamed it on manifest destiny, I confess (Banjo - frantic picking) (Chorus) Hey, life in the country's a comical parade Where the possums wear fedoras and the chickens serenade Got a pet armadillo named Earl, thinks he's a guard dog too Just another Saturday night in this hick-town zoo (Bridge) Might not have much money, might not have much class But I got fireflies for disco balls and a smile that won't quit fast (Banjo - melancholic) (Chorus) Hey, life in the country's a comical parade Where the possums wear fedoras and the chickens serenade Got a pet armadillo named Earl, thinks he's a guard dog too Just another Saturday night in this hick-town zoo (Outro) Yeah, just another Saturday night in this hick-town zoo (Banjo fades out with a flourish) Just another Saturday night in this hick-town zoo (Outro) Yeah, just another Saturday night in this hick-town zoo (Banjo fades out with a flourish)
