I was born one night about twelve o'clock 
(Ha-ha-ha) 
I come in this world playin' a gold guitar 
My father was around stickin' out his chest 
(Hee-hee) 
A-now, mama this boy he gon fee' you a mess 
(Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha) 
Yeah! Yea-ha, Ooh, uh-huh 

Now, people came from miles around 
Yeah, just to hear my little guitar sound 
Now, some of 'em said I had what it takes 
If I keep on practice I'd be famous one day 
(Ha-ha) 
Woo, I'm a mess! 
I'm a killer-diller 
Uh-huh, yea-hey, a-uh, uh-huh 

Early in the middle of the night 
A car drove up with four headlights 
(Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha) 
Now, a man stepped out wit' a long cigar 
He said, 'Sign this line and I can make you a star' 
(Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha) 
I said, 'Now, what's in it man, what's in it for me?' 
He says, 'I'd, play yo' guitar son and wait an see' 
Here I am! (heh-heh-heh, heeee) 
The girls liked me, they say, 'It's crazy, it sound nice 
Uuh-uuh 

My first engagement was in Chicago 
I played fo' some people I'd never seen before 

It was good too (ha-ha-ha-ha) 
They like it 
Sound nice 
(Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha) 
Yeah, ah-ha-ha-ha 
Yeah, man 
 
I'm killer-diller 
I'm 'on killa diller.
