Who died for the business part
The instrument was relevant
As long as it played like art

Opted just to wing it
as long as it played like art


Soon Hot Rod was the best because
Hot Rod Duncan di'n't know how to string it

An electric spaceship in disguise

Hailed from the Appalachians

Transcended global nations

You gotta remember to string up that banjo. I tell you what.)

The van was actually
an electric spaceship in disguise


One time he flew his banjo to
Hot Rod Duncan hail'd from the Appalachians
The planet Jupiter
Hot Rod Duncan transcend'd global nations
Among the rife intelligent life
He managed to locate her


Hot Rod Duncan
(Yee-ha)
Found his unicorn
Hot Rod Duncan
Magically reborn


Eventually he came to see
(Go, Hot Rod. Take it, Hot Rod.)
The banjo was his friend
(He said take it.)
He helped that girl to spacey whirls
(What's the matter, can't take it? You gotta remember to string up that banjo. I tell you what.)
She learned him how to bend

When Hot Rod came to know his name

He returned to planet Earth

And this is where (by just a hair)

A gleeful galaxy

And the rest is history
