Build Another Band

I ain't seen your face for a long long while
Hope you're living like in good style
You have your troubles that I do not envy
But I got my own trouble file

Get on the stand now
Play the music
Build another band
Our past times have been good
Laughing and joking night and noon and day
No reason it should not always be that way

I saw a friend today who said he'd seen you
Looking so low, down in the blue
He said you needed comfort but he did not know
Just what to say to you

Get on the stand now
Play the music
Build another band
Our past times have been good
Laughing and joking night and noon and day
No reason it should not always be that way

Now you're a big boy now
You don't need a smacker to straighten out your head
There's many who love you and want to see you
Playing paint the town bright red

Get on the stand now
Play the music
Build another band
Our past times have been good
Laughing and joking night and noon and day
No reason it should not always be that way
