Strike Up the Band
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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!
