The second time you sing it, to put a "llll"
sound at every capitalized letter. You can also try adding multiple "llll's"
or singing the song faster and faster each time.
While the above verse is the original song, I
have recently come across a second version. Thanks to Megan Burns for sharing
this with me!
- I used to play on my banjo, but my banjo was
broke.
- I took it to a banjo shop, but the banjo shop
was closed.
- So I took it to another shop to see what they
could do.
- They fixed
the strings on my banjo, and now they're good as new.
