Lyrics
May not be the fairest in all the land
But if you need the gig done
Baby, I'm your man
I'll be there when your artist goes berserk
Cause the thunder makes the racket
But the lightning does the work
I can get the show on from Altoona to Atlanta
Backin' up the front man
I'm a second banana
I'll listen while you moan about your life
Run interference when your girlfriend
Meets your next ex-wife
Take you to the hotel when it's a drag
And wait out at the airport
When they've lost your bag
I'll keep track of your man purse
With your phone and your day planner
I can make it happen
I'm a second banana
There ain't much of a market
For good old boys like me
Cause when the lights come on
We ain't the ones you paid to see
But I can set the gear up and start the show
While the big shot's in the lobby
Sellin' swag and snaggin' all your dough
I can fake your autograph
While you're in your pajamas
Sawin' logs in your bus bar
Thank you, second banana
I can make a snap decision
When they bounce the check in Boise
I'm a pretty good technician
When your pre-amp tube's gettin' noisy
Your constructive criticision
Serves to add to my annoyment
But I'll perform with great precision
To provide sustained employment
You can run me hard and put me to the test
You can ask for my opinion
But I digress
Cause everybody's got one
From Sinatra to Santana
Placed strategically behind them
Just a second banana
