Big Long Slidin’ Thing |
I’ve been in every bar, |
Been in every honky-tonk, |
Been tryin' to find my daddy |
With that broke down piece o' junk! |
Ask everyone to help me, |
Cried, «Help me if you can; |
you’ll lnow my daddy, |
He’s that trombone playin' man! |
Where is my daddy? |
Tell me where is my daddy |
With that big long slidin' thing?». |
I even ask a man |
That played a steel guitar; |
He said that you don’t need him |
To be moved eight to the bar! |
He brought his amplifier |
And he hitched it in my plug; |
He planked it, and he plunked it, |
But it just wasn’t good enough, |
'Cause I need my daddy, |
Need my daddy with that big long slidin' thing! |
Well, then a knock came at my door, |
I said, «Mmm, my daddy’s back!». |
I opened up the door |
And there stood Piano Jack! |
He said, «I came to do some tinklin' |
On your piano keys!». |
I said, «Don't make me nervous, |
This ain’t no time to tease! |
Just send me my daddy, |
Send me my daddy with that big long slidin' thing!». |
Well, the first time he played, |
I ask him how it was done. |
He said, «I blow through here, |
Then I work my fingers and my thumb! |
I slide it right up, |
Then I slide it back again |
And I gdet a lot o' wind, |
And then I slide it back again!». |
That is my daddy |
With that big long sliding thing, oh yeah! |
