Let the drums roll out
Let the trumpets call
While the people shout,
"Strike up the band!"
Let the cymbals ring
Callin` one and all
While the saxes swing`
Strike up the band
There is work to be done, to be done
There are songs to be sung, to be sung
Hey, you son-of-a-, son-of-a-gun
Here`s a plan
Come along, yea a bow
Get it on, let`s go
Hey, leader, say, leader
Hey, leader, strike up the band!
