Текст песни The Drum Major (Remastered) - Peter Dawson

Left, Right, here we come
Tah rah rah rah rah rah, pum pum pum
People ... something... the band comes by
Tah rah rah rah rah rah, pum pum

All pretty girls look out, when they hear they we're about
Oh of course you'll understand, how they don't step on the band
Especially the gay drum major
With my baton in my hand, don't you think we all look grand?
So you now can understand, why the darlings love the band
Especially the gay drum major
So you now can understand, why the darlings love the band
Especially, especially, especially the gay drum major

Off we go to war, hurrah!
Tar rah rah rah rah rah, rah rah rah
People say as we march away
Tah rah rah rah rah rah, rah rah

But when shots begin to fly, why should we lie down and die
When of course you'll understand, it's not expected of the band
Especially the gay drum major
So we just begin to play, then we genteelly march away
For we must not risk our lives, we have sweethearts, we have wives
Especially the gay drum major
For we must not risk our lives, we have sweethearts, we have wives
Especially, especially, especially the gay drum major

When its over a-home we come
Tah rah rah rah rah rah, pum pum pum
What a fuss they make of us, tah rah rah rah rah, pom pom
How they ask us how to dine, how we put away the wine
Well of course you'll understand, that's expected of the band
Especially the gay drum major.

Something something...
Cry 'disarm'?, Have no fear you'll come to harm
There's the danger for the land, if they only leave the band
Especially, especially, especially the bold drum major

With my baton in my hand, don't you think we all look grand
So you now can understand, why the darlings love the band
Especially the gay drum major
So you now can understand, why the darlings love the band
Especially, especially, especially the bold drum major
