Banjo/Accordion intro Dm Bb One moonlight night in the bayou a silhouette F C The air was sweet and the fog was vi-o-let Dm Bb The gators were all drinking tea, in a dreamy pantsless glee F C I saw a suspendered man, a banjo holstered in his hands. Dm Bb He had biggest red suspenders I ever did see, golly gee that's what I've seen F C He flicked the brim of his hat, and 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 Bb Now ah play a song but in return, yoo put dat shiny coin right 'ere in mah urn. F C And ah play yoo sumfin fine. Mah music gonna blow yo mind!" Dm Gm So I flicked my coin into his pot, 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 Dm never, never, never, never, never, heard anything so great. Dm Call the vendors. Bb Big Suspenders. F C Dm That's what everybody wants to wear. Dm They stretch to Nantucket. Bb Put them in a bucket F C Dm And send them to the gnome trapped down the well Dm (Tug 'em with thumbs is ideal) Dm (While rollin' back on your heels) Dm (Let ring) (Yeah) He played the two cent show [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/s/steam-powered-giraffe/368259.html ] 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 Dm So he cleared his throat, and his fingers writhed, Bb Dm and everyone shouted for Suspender Guy. Dm Call the vendors Bb Big Suspenders F C Dm That's what grandma wants for her birthday Dm They're bright red and awesome Bb Even worn by opossums F C Dm Nobody wants their pants to fall 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 Dm Three bat teeth and a blackened gypsy eye Dm Bring it to a boil Bb Release your mortal coil F C Dm Out pops a belt to wear for you and me- Dm C Dm Nobody wants their pants to fall down- Dm C Dm You could wear a dress and 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...... End..
