Lyrics Strike Up The Band - Count Basie , Thad Jones , Ralph Sharon , Tony Bennett , Joe Newman , Benny Powell

Let the drums roll out
Let the trumpet call
While the people shout
"Strike up the band"
Hear the cymbals ring
Callin' one and all
To the martial swing
Strike up the band
There is work to be done, to be done
Let's have fun, fun, fun
You son of a son, of a gun
Take your stand
Fall in line, Oh-oh
Come along, let's go
Hey, Leader, strike up the band!
There is work to be done, to be done
Let's have fun, fun, fun
Come on son of a gun, of a gun
Take your stand
Fall in line, Oh-oh
Come on, let's go
Hey, Mr. Leader
Hey, Mr. Leader
Please, strike up the
Band!
