Banjo Dog Made Me Holler

[Verse 1]
Saw a dog on the corner
Wearin’ shades and a busted straw hat
He was doin’ that air-head wobble
Like he’d sniffed somethin’ stronger than a snack
Little flea-bit banjo
Hangin’ low on his furred-up chest
He plucked two strings
Missed three more
Still somehow playin’ his best (oh lord)
[Chorus]
That banjo dog made me holler
I about fell out my boots
Laughin’ so hard
I lost my collar
Spit my drink on a fella in a suit
I tried to look smooth
Tried to look taller
But I just cackled and choked on my water
That banjo dog made me holler
And I blew my shot right there
[Verse 2]
Pretty girl by the food truck
Curly hair
Fry grease glow
I thought
“Boy
This is your moment
Walk on up
Talk real slow”
Then that dog hit a sour note
Spun around and winked one eye
I snorted
Snickered
Slapped my knee
Let out a pig-call cry (hee-HAA!)
[Chorus]
That banjo dog made me holler
I about fell out my boots
Laughin’ so hard
I lost my collar
Spit my drink on a fella in a suit
I tried to look smooth
Tried to look taller
But I just cackled and choked on my water
That banjo dog made me holler
And I blew my shot right there
[Bridge]
She said
“You okay
Cowboy?
You sound like a broke-down truck”
I said
“Blame that mutt with the banjo”
She said
“Darlin’
That’s just bad luck”
Then she started laughin’ with me
Tears rollin’ down her face
Said
“If we’re both this weird already
Might as well call it a date” (come on!)
[Chorus]
That banjo dog made me holler
Turned my cool into a wreck
But she grabbed my hand in all that bother
Said
“Let’s two-step ‘fore I change my mind back”
So here’s to bad notes and awkward callers
And every fool tryna act a bit taller
That banjo dog made me holler
Now she’s dancin’ in my arms

Loose hillbilly comedy jam, male vocals with a twangy, over-enunciated drawl. Clattery washboard and upright bass walk under a bright, chugging banjo; occasional fiddle scoops punctuate punchlines. Verses stay mostly spoken-sung in a talky storyteller cadence, chorus snaps into a stomping singalong with crowd-style gang vocals on the hook. Keep it raw, barn-party loud, let the ad-libs feel half-drunk and delighted., comedy
