Build Another Band (alternate version)

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

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

Saw a friend today who said it seemed
You're looking so low down blue
Said you needed comfort but he did not know
Just what to say to you

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

You're a big boy now
You don't need a smack
To straighten out your head
There are many who love you
And want to hear you playing
Paint the town bright red

Now get on the stand now
Play the music
Build another band
For times have been good
Laughing and joking
Night and noon and day
No reason it should not always be that way

I ain't seen your face for a long long while
Hope you're living life in good style
You've got troubles that I do not envy
But I live my life now

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