Lyrics

No, broke a string.

I broke a string.

I have to stand up here and sing.

I was wrong, because that's one too long,

I broke a string, broke a string, broke a string.

Mmmm, now if somebody please,

Who works in this place,

Could go in the back, and open the case,

And bring out a set, ah you bet, I'll change the string,

Change the string, change the string.

It won't take long, it won't take long,

And then I won't hafta, sing this goddamn song, goddamn song.

Oh no, if he'd only bring, only bring

Another string, another string, another string.

Mmmm, oh please, bring it to me,

If you can't find the whole set, then find a 'G'.

Find a 'G', oh no, I'm like a bird with one wing,

Without my string, without my string, without my string.
