Strike Up The Band (Strike Up The Band) - Tony Bennett, Count Basie, Tristan Powell

COUNT BASIE AND TONY BENNETT

Let the drums roll out

Let the trumpet call

While the people shout, «strike up the band»

Hear the cymbals ring

Calling one and all

To the martial swing, strike up the band

There is work to be done, to be done

Let’s have fun, fun, fun

You son of a gun of a gun, take your stand

Form a line, oh, oh

Come on, let’s go

Hey, leader, strike up the band!

There is work to be done, to be done

Let’s have fun, fun, fun

Come on, son of a gun of a gun, take your stand

Form a line, oh, oh

Come on, let’s go

Hey, Mr. Leader

Hey, Mr. Leader

Please strike up the band!
