Skiffle is My Name
The year was 1920
The country USA
They started improvising
Something they had never played
Years later in the 50s
The trend was on by the mates
Is it rock? Is it folk?
Is it jazz or is it blues?
I've got washboards and harmonicas
Tin flutes and kazoos
There is nothing I can not do
I make sounds with hollow bamboos
Skiffle, skiffle, skiffle is my name
And I dare you to try to play this game
Sol, la, si, do, re, mi, far away
Skiffle, skiffle, skiffle is my name
Why d'you always find someone to blame?
Skiffle songs will never sound the same
Wait, I'm just a humble herald
I'm the voice of a buried battle
And somebody speaks through me
I just feel, I don't see
So what I need to do
Is to bring you back to you
Is it country? Is it bluegrass?
What's your problem? Why do you ask?
I don't fit in your labels
'Cause my stage is now on the table
I kick cups, I drop plates
And every sound is in the song that I made
Skiffle, skiffle, skiffle is my name
And I dare you to try to play this game
Sol, la, si, do, re, mi, far away
Skiffle, skiffle, skiffle is my name
I'd better sing than try to explain
Listen
Wait, I'm just a humble herald
I'm the voice of a buried battle
And somebody speaks through me
I just feel, I don't see
So what I need to do
Is to bring you back to you
And don't ask me again if it's a country song, of if it's a bluegrass
I don't care
'Cause I don't fit in your labels
My stage is on the table
I kick cups and I drop plates
And every noise is in the song that I made
Skiffle, skiffle, skiffle is my name
(Ooh la la ooh la ooh la)
And I dare you to try to play this game
(Ooh la la ooh la ooh la ooh)
Sol, la, si, do, re, mi, far away
(Sol, la, si, do, re, mi, far away)
Skiffle, skiffle, skiffle is my name
(Yah, yah, yah, yah, yah, yah, yah, yah, yah)
Why d'you always find someone to blame?
(Skiffle, skiffle, skiffle is my name)
Skiffle songs will never sound the same
And now that you learned you can sing with me
Skiffle, skiffle, skiffle is my name
And I dare you to try to play this game
Sol, la, si, do, re, mi, far away
Skiffle, skiffle, skiffle is my name
Why d'you always find someone to blame?
Skiffle songs will never sound the same
The country USA

Skiffle, skiffle, skiffle is my name
And I dare you to try to play this game

Skiffle, skiffle, skiffle is my name
Why d'you always find someone to blame?

Skiffle, skiffle, skiffle is my name
Why d'you always find someone to blame?
Skiffle songs will never sound the same
