We'll drink from a jar I'll show you my scars You hate the sound of the banjo I can't write a love song I've been loving for way too long All I can do is beat upon the banjo Banjo love It fits just like a glove Banjo love The bees just got to buzz Makes me want to dance Come on darling, give it a chance Still a plunky, grumpy song might be a love song I'll show you the stars We'll lay out in the yard I won't forget to bring along the banjo Every bird's got a song Beat on your clanging gong While I plunk upon my old banjo Banjo love It fits just like a glove Banjo love The bees just got to buzz Makes me want to dance Come on darling, give it a chance Still a plunky, grumpy song might be a love song When you're young A slow brooding melody May be all that it takes A serenade for your lady fair Is what gets her cake to bake After some years There's hair in your ears Love songs become inconvenient Daily life, with its gives and its takes Is more of a social agreement We've sure been through a lot This is the best love song that I got Like a cow appreciates grass I'm thankful for you
