Strike Up the Band

Strike up the band.
It's going to be grand.
Sing as never before.
Let the music roar.
Strike up the band.

If you are feeling down.
Turn up the sound.
Give it all you got.
The music is  hot.
Let the music play.
Strike up the band.

The music roars.
A crescendo of course.
The drums bash.
Symbols crash.
Trumpets scream.
Violins sound like a dream.
Let the music play.
Strike up the band

Why are you singing.
My good friend?
Because this music has no end.
It makes me happy to say.
Let the music play.
Strike up the band.

You don't need a reason.
To sing or play.
Happiness  display.
Drive misery away.
Let the music play.
Strike up the band

The heart rejoice.
Lift up the voice.
Let it ring  let it say.
I'm happy to day.
Let the music play.
Strike up the band.
