He was an old time trombone player who loved to play
But there weren't many jobs that would come his way
And 'though his heart was really big
There simply wasn't a place where he could get him a gig
But you can see him now - down in Kentucky
He's the crazy old trombone player who does karaoke

He wishes he was playing in a swinging band
But then the karaoke jock devised a plan
He said "Although you sure can sing,
Go out and get your trombone. get up and just do your thing!"
He makes the singers gasp - when he plays melody
He's the crazy old trombone player who does karaoke.

A-romp - A-bomp - A romp-bomp-bomp
He plays with metal and rock - or even country
Make funny words to all of the songs he's singing
He makes the singers cringe - with his insanity
He's the crazy old trombone trombone player who does karaoke

He leaves - them all stunned when he plays trombone at the karaoke
And, 'though he's crazy on the stage, he's as normal as he can be
The singers sit on their hands - they don't want folks to see
That they kind of like the trombone player at karaoke

Ah toodley ada, toodley ada, root-toot-toot
He plays on country or rock
Makes funny words to all of the songs he's singing
And the singers don't - believe what they see
He's the crazy old trombone player who does karaoke

(Instrumental chorus)

He plays the town sports center for the bowling pins
He sings in competitions but he never wins
He plays and sings each benefit and local show
And he performs at Christmas in the falling snow
"Oh No!" the singers moan when he changes the key
He's the crazy old trombone player who does karaoke

(Free form jazz rhythms and lyrics for most of the last chorus)
And the singers jump up and the scream "Bite Me!"
To the crazy old trombone player who does karaoke!
(That's Me!)
