Strike up the Band Lyrics

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!
