Al Trout S Hokum Washboard Band lyrics

by David Rosenfield)

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` jugband 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
(thumpa thumpa thumpa thumpa)
The guitar`s Hawaiian
When it starts cryin`
Your troubles will go where the sun don`t shi-ine

Sister Rebekah
She`s a washboard wrecker
With a nimble thimbled hand
They`ve only got one fiddle
So, it ain`t Nelson Riddle
It`s Al Trout`s Hokum Washboard Band!

Yeah!
[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
