MR MAGEE'S INCREDIBLE BANJO BAND
(J Christie)

On the corner of the street where I was born
Lived a man who is the greatest of them all
He’s the fastest banjo player in the land
Everybody wants to shake his hand
Mr Magee’s incredible banjo band

Mr Magee, play for me, one of your magic songs
Play the song you used to play when I was a boy
Pah pah pah

People come from miles around to see him play
It’s a treat, they all agree it makes their day
And the crowds outside the theatre cheer and say
Mr Magee is playing here today
Mr Magee’s incredible banjo band

Mr Magee, play for me, one of your magic songs
Play the song you used to play when I was a boy
Pah pah pah

Now the years have come and gone since he was young
And old Ben Magee is followed by his son
Like his father he is blessed with magic hands
Now he is the leader of the band
Mr Magee’s incredible banjo band

Mr Magee, play for me, one of your magic songs
Play the song you used to play when I was a boy
Pah pah pah
