Bluegrass song 'bout no interest in 'famous'
We’re the "World's Best Bluegrass Band" (you just can’t see)

We been the...“Long Fill o’ Busters” (long ‘country’ fill 4x)
We were… “Out in Left Field” (outré fill  2x )
“The Blue Folk n’ Beyond” (blues to bop fill 2x)
The One Takes,(1x) CleansLates (1x),
Gasgrassaaaaaaas…
…sembly…(inst. ritardando, stop)

our dream’s to never make it big
we sprout new band names every gig
first and last gig ever! (here), ya dig?
Though we might play Carnegie…

We’re the "world's best bluegrass band", you just can’t see.
5-string, flat top, mandolin, fiddle…
and bass fiddle preferably…?

You can stand real still,  go on and frown,
just close your eyes ya can’t see sou….…nd,
Finely tuned, pure harmonyyyyyy…
acoustic grass,  what’s there to see?

So if we wear bags it’s not from shame
We hide our looks and change our name,
so we can hie back whence we came,
we're in the folk closet blue grass band.

cause y’ all know playing folk ain’t  coooool, 
say a “ bluegrass banjo player droooools…
On a level stage two even poooooll…..ssss…?”
Nah, we know that ain’t true

they never heard of Bela Fleck
and Allison aint turned their neck
her voice and fiddle?  have respeeeeect…
Jerry Douglas, Earl and Rice?
Lester Flatt, who else 'sangs so niiiiiice'….?

We’re the "world's best bluegrass band"...can’t you just can’t see?
hear the 5-string, flat top, mandolin, fiddle…
and bass fiddle preferably…?

Stand real still, ya can even frown,
Looks no matter, it’s the sound of,
Fine tuned picking, harmonyyyyy

We’re the bluegrass band...you can’t see, can’t ya see?
Just the whorld's best bluegrass band - and we just play free

(Hot foot breaks for 16 bars).
(Shave and hair cut)
That’s all folks! …Now run boys!
"No pictures please…now don’t try to hire us …no, now, no Maam!, You think you’ve heard us before?  Impossible! No, no,  I’ve never heard of the…”Blue Folkin Beyond”?…  that sounds like a punk band!  ;)
“boys we need a new name and we need it quick”…exit, furtively
