(band laughter and conversation)
It's the weekend, it's another Saturday night
I could waste my life away but that don't
seem right
Can I have a good time, while I have a
hard time too
If the good old days are gone for good
There's just one thing to do and this is it...
Oh, oh, strike up the band one time
Oh, oh, strike up the band one time
Oh, oh, strike up the band one time
On the corner, everybody living in
the streets
Fireplugs and nickel slugs, ain't the
heat sweet
Standin' in a bread line, yeah, everybody's
jokin' with the jocks
They say, Sunday just might never come
so pull out all the stops...
Oh, oh, strike up the band one time
Oh, oh, strike up the band one time
Oh, oh, strike up the band one time
Oh, oh, strike up the band one time
Oh, oh, strike up the band one time
Oh, oh, strike up the band one time
Oh, oh, strike up the band one time
Oh, oh, strike up the band one time
Oh, oh, strike up the band one time
Oh, oh, strike up the band one time
Strike it up, strike it up
Strike it up, strike it up
Strike it up, strike it up
Strike it up, strike it up
Strike it up
