Hey here I go a lucky so and so
Happy 'cos I know I've got my fast guitar
Singing pretty songs, knowing I belong
I am first and last, and always a fast guitar
The fastest guitar alive
Rattling strings like a gattling gun
Shaped like a lovely woman
Stay right where you are
My guitar is a fast guitar
The fastest guitar alive
I'm rolling on like a rolling stone
gathering no moss, I play a boss guitar
The fastest guitar alive
Strumming like a battling soldier's drum
Shaped like a lovely woman
Stay right where you are
My guitar is a fast guitar
The fastest guitar alive
Hey here I go a lucky so and so
Happy 'cos I know I've got my fast guitar
The fastest guitar
The fastest guitar
The fastest guitar alive
