My name's Dan
I am the banjo man
If you wanna be my fan
Send me a telegram
I will come and sing my shang-a-lang
Doing the best I can
And you will smile again
Nothing will be the same
Everybody loves the banjo man
And if I'll sing in vain
I'm not to blame
Don't ever call me Sam the sham
That was my daddy's name
My Mummy called me Dan
And I'm the banjo man
So I ask you
Would you please throw
Another coin
Right in the can
Then I'll sing you a song
Called Dan the banjo man
O
would you please throw
A coin in the can
And I'll sing you a song
Called Dan the banjo man
