Lyrics:

Let the drums roll out

Let the trumpet call

While the people shout

'strike up the band'



Hear the cymbals ring

Callin one and all

To the martial swing,

Strike up the band



There is work to be done, to be done

Theres a war to be won, to be won

Come, you son of a son of a gun,

Take your stand



Fall in line, yea a bow

Come along, lets go

Hey, leader, strike up the band!







There is work to be done, to be done

Theres a war to be won, to be won

Come, you son of a son of a gun,

Take your stand



Fall in line, yea a bow

Come on, lets go

Hey, leader, strike up

Hey, leader, strike up

Hey, leader, strike up the band
