In an amblin' van lived a banjo man
And his name was Hot Rod Duncan
He didn't know why they called him that
But he just went along with it
Hot Rod Duncan
Always felt ashamed
Hot Rod Duncan
Didn't know his name
(Poor Hot Rod)
Now Hot Rod had a savvy dad
Who died for the business part
The instrument was relevant
As long as it played like art
Hot Rod Duncan
Didn't know how to string it
Hot Rod Duncan
Opted just to wing it
(Oh well)
Soon Hot Rod was the best because
He traveled well and wise
The van was actually
An electric spaceship in disguise
Hot Rod Duncan
Hailed from the Appalachians
Hot Rod Duncan
Transcended global nations
(Yee-ha)
(Go, Hot Rod. Take it, Hot Rod!)
(He said take it.)
(What's the matter, can't take it?
You gotta remember to string up that banjo. I tell you what.)
One time he flew his banjo to
The planet Jupiter
Among the rife intelligent life
He managed to locate her
Hot Rod Duncan
Found his unicorn
Hot Rod Duncan
Magically reborn
Eventually he came to see
The banjo was his friend
He helped that girl to spacey whirls
She learned him how to bend
Hot Rod Duncan
Strung that banjo well
Hot Rod Duncan
Played it purty swell
(You know what I'm talkin' 'bout?)
When Hot Rod came to know his name
He returned to planet Earth
And this is where (by just a hair)
He finally gleaned his worth
Hot Rod Duncan
Legend in his time
Hot Rod Duncan
Reasoned with a rhyme
(They adopted a dog named Cloister)
The he and she would guarantee
