The Supremes Lyrics
"(The Man With The) Rock And Roll Banjo Band"

(Clarence Paul/Berry Gordy)

He's a groovy swinging guy

With the rock and roll banjo band

I got a sweet little guy

Who lives down the street

But nobody knows his name

Everybody was sad and feeling so bad

But that was before he came

Now everybody in the neighborhood

Seems to walk with a steady beat

By the rhythm of the guy

With the rock and roll banjo band

The way he plays that thing

It makes my poor heart ring

I'm gonna marry that guy someday

If you wanna know why I love him so

Then you ought to come and hear him play

From the dawn to the sunset

He keeps a-strumming on his banjo strings

He's the groovy swinging guy

With the rock and roll banjo band

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

The way he plays that thing

It makes my poor heart ring

I'm gonna marry that guy someday

If you wanna know why I love him so

Then you ought to come and hear him play

From the dawn to the sunset

He keeps a-strumming on his banjo strings

He's the groovy swinging guy

With the rock and roll banjo band

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

He's the groovy swinging guy

With the rock and roll banjo band

He's the groovy swinging guy
