COOL CATS HOT BLUEGRASS

ON A FRIDAY EVENING WHEN I GOT OFF WORK
I HEADED FOR THE SUPERMARKET IN MY TRUCK
LONG NECK BOTTLES PACKED ON ICE
THE BLUEGRASS BOYS ARE COMING OVER TONIGHT
LOOK AT THEM COOL CATS PLAYING HOT BLUEGRASS.
BIG JOE ROSINED UP HIS BOW
I GOT BRAND NEW STRINGS ON THE OLD DOBRO
BILL ON THE BANJO, JAKE MANDOLIN
AND ON THE DOGHOUSE BASS
IS BIG BROTHER BEN.
LOOK AT THEM COOL CATS
PLAYING HOT BLUEGRASS.
THERE WAS A BIG FULL MOON IN MY BACKYARD
OLD BLUE WAS LAYING THERE STANDING GUARD.
WE OPENED UP A BOTTLE OF SCUPPERNONG WINE
THE BLUEGRASS BOYS WERE FEELING MIGHTY FINE.
LOOK AT THEM COOL CATS PLAYING HOT BLUEGRASS.
THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN CAME A BIG BRIGHT LIGHT
WE ALL LOOKED UP AND OH WHAT A SIGHT
IT WAS A FLYING SAUCER, IT WAS SILVER AND ROUND
IT LANDED SOFTLY AND EASY ON THE GROUND
THEN A DOOR SLIDE UP AND TWO STEPPED OUT
THEY PUT THEIR HANDS TOGETHER AND THEY DID A BOW
SAID WE COME IN PEACE WE HEARD A COOL NOISE
WE DIG THAT SOUND FROM THE BLUEGRASS BOYS
LOOK AT THEM COOL CATS PLAYING HOT BLUEGRASS.
WE HOPE YOU DON’T MIND IF WE STAY A WHILE
THEY HELD A LITTLE PHONE AND BEGAN TO DIAL.
THEY TOLD SOMEBODY ABOUT A JOYFUL NOISE
WE DIG THAT SOUND FROM THE BLUEGRASS BOYS
LOOK AT THEM COOL CATS PLAYING HOT BLUEGRASS
LOOK AT THEM COOL CATS PLAYING HOT BLUEGRASS.
