Song Lyrics

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
There`s a war to be won, to be won
Come, you son of a son of a gun,
Take your stand

Fall in line, yea a bow
Come along, let`s go
Hey, leader, strike up the band!

<instrumental break>

There is work to be done, to be done
There`s a war to be won, to be won
Come, you son of a son of a gun,
Take your stand

Fall in line, yea a bow
Come on, let`s go
Hey, Leader, strike up
Hey, Leader, strike up
Hey, Leader, strike up the band
