Dadgummit, Turn That Banjo Loose!

[INTRO — INSTRUMENTAL, 16 BARS] [Five-string banjo opens with a fast rolling riff] [Slap bass joins with popping funky rhythm] [Boogie piano kicks in] [Cletus answers with a growling Frankenstein guitar riff] [Tambourine shakes] [Darlene's tenor sax blows a joyful blues phrase] [BUBBA — SPOKEN] Well, dadgummit! Luther, turn that banjo loose! Cletus, fire up that Frankenstein! [VERSE 1 — BUBBA, SUNG] Back in Georgia where the red clay runs, We knew how to make our own kind of fun. Didn't need a fortune or a fancy stage, Just a little good music and a place to play. [INSTRUMENTAL — 8 BARS] [Banjo takes four bars] [Frankenstein guitar answers four bars] [Piano and slap bass keep the groove] [VERSE 2 — DARLENE, SUNG] I hear that five-string ringing clear, And that wild electric guitar coming near. Bubba, there's a rhythm underneath your feet, You better start moving to that funky beat! [CHORUS — BUBBA AND DARLENE] Dadgummit, turn that banjo loose! Let that Frankenstein shake the roof! Slap that bass, let the piano roll, Got a little North Georgia deep in my soul. Pick a little, sing a little, Let those country rhythms fly. Blow that sax and shake that tambourine, We're gonna have ourselves a mighty fine time! [INSTRUMENTAL — 16 BARS] [Banjo and Frankenstein guitar trade four-bar solos] [Kalimba answers with bright sparkling notes] [Silver flute plays a soaring melody] [Darlene's tenor sax finishes with a bluesy flourish] [VERSE 3 — BUBBA, COUNTRY RAP] [Slap bass and piano move forward] Red clay road and a beat-up shoe, Five-string picking like we used to do. Papa saying dadgummit, pass that tea, Good old Georgia sweet tea waiting on me. Piano goes rolling, bass goes pop, Cletus hits a lick that'll make you stop. Luther's on the banjo, Darlene's on the horn, Sounds like a Saturday morning being born! [INSTRUMENTAL — 16 BARS] [8 bars — featured funky slap bass solo] [4 bars — rolling boogie-woogie piano] [4 bars — banjo plays rapid melodic runs] [VERSE 4 — DARLENE, SUNG] There's a song in every memory, A little piece of who we used to be. And when those mountain melodies come around, Even old memories get up and dance around! [INSTRUMENTAL — 12 BARS] [Wooden flute plays a gentle mountain melody] [Ocarina answers with clear sweet notes] [Kalimba sparkles underneath] [Ukulele carries a bouncing rhythm] [CHORUS — DUET] Dadgummit, turn that banjo loose! Let that Frankenstein shake the roof! Slap that bass, let the piano roll, Got a little North Georgia deep in my soul. Pick a little, sing a little, Let those country rhythms fly. Blow that sax and shake that tambourine, We're gonna have ourselves a mighty fine time! [FEATURED INSTRUMENTAL JAM — 32 BARS] [8 bars — Luther's five-string banjo solo] [8 bars — Cletus's gritty Frankenstein guitar solo] [4 bars — Otis Ivory boogie piano] [4 bars — popping slap bass solo] [4 bars — Darlene's growling tenor sax solo] [4 bars — banjo, guitar and sax trade quick phrases] [Full band hits a joyful stop] [BUBBA — SPOKEN] Whoo! Dadgummit! Now that's what I call a little Georgia music! [DARLENE — SPOKEN, LAUGHING] Bubba, you call THAT a little music? [BUBBA — SPOKEN] Well, we might've got carried away! [FINAL CHORUS — BOTH] Dadgummit, turn that banjo loose! Let that Frankenstein shake the roof! Slap that bass, let the piano roll, That's a whole lot of Georgia in a country soul. Play a little, sing a little, Let the whole band shine! Some of the sweetest things in life Are the things we left behind! [OUTRO — INSTRUMENTAL, 16 BARS] [Banjo and Frankenstein guitar play together] [Honky-tonk piano rolls underneath] [Slap bass drives the funky groove] [Silver flute and ocarina answer the sax] [Darlene's tenor sax takes the last solo] [Band finishes with a joyful stop] [BUBBA — SPOKEN] Well, dadgummit... let's do that again!
