Unofficial Lyrics: Ben Feldman plays the bass Ben Feldman plays the bass A beard grows on his face Ben Feldman plays the bass He plays the bass real good The way a bassist should His bass is made from wood (Ben Feld-maaaan) He takes it from his case And takes up lots of space Ben Feldman plays the bass He plays the upright bass He's too good for his age He has an ex named Paige Ben Feldman plays the bass Ben Feldman plays the upright bass
