I'm a lonesome guitar strangler
Down the road I go
Strangling guitar players
Every day I get one more
Shoot them full of fuzztone
My reverb kills them slow
Gonna use my G string
On a fellow named Gabor Szabo
[Eastern-flavored jazzy imitation Gabor Szabo solo]
I'm a lonesome guitar strangler
So full of hate you see
Hot on the trail of all you copycats
Who copy Wes Montgomery
[Jazzy imitation of Wes Montgomery solo]
I'm a lonesome guitar strangler
With all my bread I should've been a banker
Hot on the trail of the incense and sitars
About to bury Ravi Shankar
[Acoustic guitar raga solo]
I'm a lonesome guitar strangler
Smoking psychedelic guitar picks
Ready to do in every one of y'all
Better get ready, Jimi Hendrix
[Vamp on Sunshine Of Your Love for some reason]
I'm a lonesome guitar strangler
Down the road I go
[scat singing]
