One Moonlight Night!

Banjo/Accordion intro

   Dm                              
One moonlight night in the bayou a 
Bb
silhouette
    F                       C
The air was sweet and the fog was 
vi-o-let
    Dm                             
The gators were all drinking tea, 
         Bb
in a dreamy pantsless glee
    F                           C
I saw a suspendered man, a banjo 
holstered in his hands.
    Dm                             
He had biggest red suspenders I 
                    Bb
ever did see, golly gee that's what 
I've seen
    F                              
He flicked the brim of his hat, and
             C
 this is what he said to me.

    Dm                       Bb
"Mister robot ah am The Suspender 
Man
    F                         C
And dis banjo 'as shown me dah 
promised land.
    Dm                           
Now ah play a song but in return, 
          Bb
yoo put dat shiny coin right 'ere in
 mah urn.
    F                           
And ah play yoo sumfin fine. Mah 
            C
music gonna blow yo mind!"

    Dm                             
So I flicked my coin into his pot, 
          Gm
I gotta admit it twasn't a lot
                  Dm
Two cents and then his fingers 
wriggled,
                  C
he plucked those strings and belched
 a giggle.
                  Dm
He tapped his foot, howled like a 
hound
     Gm                  Dm
Igniting up the unholy sound.

                         Dm
And I ain't never, never, never, 
never, never, never, never, never,
                         Am7
never, never, never, never, never, 
never, never, never,
                         C         
never, never, never, never, never, 
                    Dm
heard anything so great.

     Dm
Call the vendors.
     Bb
Big Suspenders.
     F                   C         
That's what everybody wants to 
Dm
wear.
     Dm
They stretch to Nantucket.
     Bb
Put them in a bucket
     F                        C   
And send them to the gnome trapped
           Dm
 down the well

(Tug 'em with thumbs is ideal)
            Dm
(While rollin' back on your heels)

  Dm (Let ring)
(Yeah)

He played the two cent show

            Dm
And just like that he stopped 
playing
            Bb
My jaw dropped to the floor.
            F
He cracked his neck and smiled at 
me, And said,
            C
"Buddy, y'gotta pay for more!"

            Dm
But by then a crowd had swarmed the 
swamp,
            Bb
tossin' coin in after coin.
            Dm                   
So he cleared his throat, and his 
       Dm
fingers writhed,
            Bb                     
and everyone shouted for Suspender 
    Dm
Guy.

       Dm
Call the vendors
       Bb
Big Suspenders
       F                  C       
That's what grandma wants for her 
        Dm
birthday
       Dm
They're bright red and awesome
       Bb
Even worn by opossums
       F                  C    
Nobody wants their pants to fall 
       Dm
down

       Dm
(Ma and Pappy want 'em too)
       Dm
(Even the ghost of your Uncle Stu)

  Dm(let Ring)
(Yeah)

He played the two cent show


Fracture dat banjo!

(Under Banjo Solo)

Dm, Bb, F, C x4


          Dm
All the children sing and dance
          Bb
Those banjo sounds instill a trance
          Dm
By 4 AM the press what hot
          C
Suspender Man on the front page spot
          Dm
Suspenders were in and spats were 
out
          Bb
The girls all suffered from fainting
 bouts
          Dm
The banjos flew off the shelves
          Bb            F
Sprouting wings with dreams
          C             Dm
of being played by Suspender Man.

          Dm
But in the middle of February
          Bb
the fog turned a crimson red
          F
The Suspender Man disappeared,
          C              Dm
everyone was heels over head
          Dm
But we found his suspenders and that
 old banjo
          Bb
sittin' right here on his log

         Dm
And though he's gone,
         Dm
that's what he gets
         C                  Dm
for selling his soul to the bog

     Dm
Big Suspenders
     Bb
Put them in a blender
     F                      C 
Three bat teeth and a blackened 
            Dm
gypsy eye
     Dm
Bring it to a boil
     Bb
Release your mortal coil
     F                     C      
Out pops a belt to wear for you 
    Dm
and me-
    Dm                 C       
Nobody wants their pants to fall 
   Dm
down-
   Dm                  C 
You could wear a dress and 
                  Dm
then...you'd have no need

          Dm
(The alligators had it right)
          Dm
(Wearing pants it sure does bite)

  Dm (let ring)
(Yeah)

                         Dm
He played the two cent show......
