Lyrics - Al Trout's Hokum Washboard Band (live) by Amazing Dave

Down in
Lawrence town by the river
Kaw
Is the rockin'-est band you ever heard or saw
You won't need earplugs'
Cuz it's just five mugs
Makin' jug band jazz without any jugs
They've got songs a-plenty
Clean and dirty
Blue and sporty
From maybe circa
Nineteen-twenty
Or thirty
Or forty
Oh,
Lordy!
It's
Al
Trout's
Hokum
Washboard
Band
And you can hear the leader daily
Playin' on his ukulele
He leads them through the streets to sing
And do that string band thing
They've got a stand-up bass
That'll rock the place'
Cuz it's in yo' face(bunga bunga bunga bunga)
The guitar's
Hawaiian
When it starts cryin'
You'll lose your mind in the pale moonshine
Sister
Rebekah
She's a washboard wrecker
With a nimble thimbled hand
They've only got one fiddle'
Cuz it ain't
Nelson
Riddle
It's
Al
Trout's
Hokum
Washboard
Band!
Oh, look out![instrumental chorus]
They'll kick yo' ass'
Cuz it ain't bluegrass
It's
Al
Trout's
Hokum
Washboard
Band
It's fat and naughty
But it ain't
Pavarotti
It's
Al
Trout's
Hokum
Washboard
Band
They've all got white flesh
But it ain't
John
Tesh
It's
Al
Trout's
Hokum
Washboard
Band
Al
Trout's
Hokum (scratch, scratch)
Band!
Thank you, thank you very much
