Have you heard the news that's going round
They'll be dancing when they hear that sound

Clap your hands, all together
Now the banjo's back in town (in town)
Slap your hands, lovely weather
Now the banjo's back in town

Kick your heels to the ringing of the plunkin
Swinging (swinging) through
What a sound, round and round
And then doo wacka doo wacka doo

You gotta step your feet
To the rhythm back in 1925 (what jive)
Get that beat
Keep the rhythm alive

If someone's yelling oh, no
Just tell them bodie-o-do
Ha-cha, the ban, ban, banjo's back in town (back in town)

When Uncle Joe plays the rag on his old banjo
Everybody's rockin' (rockin') to and fro
Now they're dancing all around the cabin floor
Yelling Uncle Joe gimme more, gimme more
Folks come a-running when they hear that sound
They'll be singing and a-dancing 'til they shake the ground
Uncle Joe (a clickety-clank)
He plays a rag (a plickety-plank)
One his old banjo

So step your feet
To the rhythm back in 1925 (back in 1925)
Get that beat (beat)
Keep the rhythm alive, alive

They're yelling oh, no (yelling oh, no)
Just tell them bodie-o-do (bodie-o-do)
Ha-cha, the ban, ban, banjo's back in
Uncle Joe, get crackin'
Ha-cha the banjo's in (plink, plink, plink, plink back in town)
(Oh yeah) Ha-cha the banjo's in town (in town)
