Lyrics
(Verse 1)
(Banjo pickin' - quick and cheerful)
My pickup truck's a rust bucket, held together with spite
Got a bumper sticker braggin' 'bout my nonexistent wife
Yeah, I date disaster, romance ain't my forte
Last gal I courted, well, let's just say she stole my boat
(Banjo - slow and mournful)
(Verse 2)
Tried city slickin' once, thought I'd be a star
Ended up slingin' burgers at a place called "Mars Bar"
Bossman was a weirdo with a comb-over and a grin
Kept quoting Shakespeare while I flipped beyond thin
(Banjo - playful and fast)
(Chorus)
Hey, life in the country's a comical parade
Where the possums wear fedoras and the chickens serenade
Got a pet armadillo named Earl, thinks he's a guard dog too
Just another Saturday night in this hick-town zoo
(Banjo - slow and twangy)
(Verse 3)
Went fishin' with Jebediah, a man of dubious smell
He baited his hook with cheese puffs, said it was a fishin' spell
Ended up catchin' a catfish wearin' a rhinestone vest
Jebediah fainted dead away, blamed it on manifest destiny, I confess
(Banjo - frantic picking)
(Chorus)
Hey, life in the country's a comical parade
Where the possums wear fedoras and the chickens serenade
Got a pet armadillo named Earl, thinks he's a guard dog too
Just another Saturday night in this hick-town zoo
(Bridge)
Might not have much money, might not have much class
But I got fireflies for disco balls and a smile that won't quit fast
(Banjo - melancholic)
(Chorus)
Hey, life in the country's a comical parade
Where the possums wear fedoras and the chickens serenade
Got a pet armadillo named Earl, thinks he's a guard dog too
Just another Saturday night in this hick-town zoo
(Outro)
Yeah, just another Saturday night in this hick-town zoo
(Banjo fades out with a flourish)
Just another Saturday night in this hick-town zoo
(Outro)
Yeah, just another Saturday night in this hick-town zoo
(Banjo fades out with a flourish)
