His father heard him playing on a toy piano
So he bought him a keyboard for his birthday
And hung a guitar up on his wall
He wanted to be a rockstar
But he didn't know how to play
So he opened his phone and he listened and he learned until he'd learned it all
He'd learned it all
And he'd become
Mr. Six String
With a six string in his hand
And soon he'd become
A one man band
He wasn't satisfied with the drum machines
So he took some furniture
Some tables and blankets and plastic tubs, pots and pans
Were his drum set
Nearly a year had passed
His father heard the makeshift drums
So he drove out in his car
Knowing just what he would get
A new drum set
And he'd become
Mr. Six String
With drumsticks in his hand
And soon he'd become
A one man band
He only needed one thing left a bass guitar
So he worked around the house and dug up lots of dirt
And paid for the bass and the amplifier
And finally
With his Flying V
He would be
Mr. Six String
With a four string in his hand
And he'd become
A one man band
Mr. Six String
Ivories under his hand
And he'd become
A one man band
Mr. Six String
With that six string in his hand
Yes, he'd become
A one man band
Yeah!
