Well, they put six strings on a maple stick,&lt;br&gt;
Stuck it on a slab of ash,&lt;br&gt;
Sold one to Luther, threw in a pick,&lt;br&gt;
Sent him out with Johnny Cash.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Now, could Leo Fender and the gang have known&lt;br&gt;
At the factory in Fullerton?&lt;br&gt;
That the honky twang of the Telecaster tone&lt;br&gt;
Would outlast 'em, every one.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
(Chorus:)&lt;br&gt;
It's got a plush-lined case,&lt;br&gt;
It's all up in your face,&lt;br&gt;
It's your thunderin' lightning rod - &lt;br&gt;
It was born at the junction of form and function - &lt;br&gt;
It's the hammer of the honky-tonk gods,&lt;br&gt;
It's the hammer of the honky-tonk gods!&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
(bridge - Telecaster break)&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
You got Buck and Don, Merle and Roy,&lt;br&gt;
Muddy and the Iceman, too,&lt;br&gt;
Bryant, Bert, Roy, Danny, and Redd,&lt;br&gt;
Why, that's Redd with two 'D's to you.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Well, there's Waylon and Keith,&lt;br&gt;
'Bout off th' top of my head,&lt;br&gt;
Chrissie, Cropper and the Boss,&lt;br&gt;
Why, if Johnny B Goode had one, he would&lt;br&gt;
Up in the St. Louis Telecaster, hoss.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
(repeat Chorus (variations))&lt;br&gt;
You've (She's) got your (a) plush-lined case,&lt;br&gt;
An' all (All) up in your face,&lt;br&gt;
She's your (ya) thunderin' lightning rod - &lt;br&gt;
(Well it was) Born at the junction of form and function - &lt;br&gt;
It's the ('e) hammer of the honky-tonk gods,&lt;br&gt;
It's the hammer of the honky-tonk gods!&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
(repeat Chorus)&lt;br&gt;
