I used to pick my banjo, I picked it good and stout
Now I'm only rapping, still broadcasting out
For they're after me, they're after me
To capture me is everyone's desire
Oh, they're after me, after me
For I'm the individual they require
Some people go to college in order to teach school
But it takes a smart man, to play the banjo fool
For they're after me, they're after me
To capture me is everyone's desire
Oh, they're after me, after me
For I'm the individual they require
I get fan mail from Canada, almost everywhere
People write and tell me, you're the very best on the air
For they're after me, they're after me
To capture me is everyone's desire
Oh, they're after me, after me
For I'm the individual they require
You may talk about your money, you may talk about your prize
What makes me so happy, the ladies all treat me nice
For they're after me, they're after me
To capture me is everyone's desire
Oh, they're after me, after me
For I'm the individual they require
Had a big party in Washington, they didn't know how it'd be
Before that party was over, they were calling me
For they're after me, they're after me
To capture me is everyone's desire
Oh, they're after me, after me
For I'm the individual they require
