Strike Up the Band
Let the drum roll out
Hear the trumpets shout
While the people call
Strike up the band
Hear the cymbal ring
Callin' one and all
To the marshal's ring
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
And take your stand
Fall in line, hey ho
Come along, let's go
Hey leader, strike up the band
Let the drum roll out
Hear the trumpets shout
While the people call
Strike up the band
Hear the cymbal ring
Callin' one and all
To the marshal's ring
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
And take your stand, your stand
Fall in line, hey ho
Come along, let's go
Hey leader, strike up
Hey leader, strike up
Hey leader, strike up the band
The band ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, the band
