  • 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
    Let's have fun, fun, fun
    Come on you son of a son, of a gun
    Take your stand

    Fall in line, yea a bow
    Come along, 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 you son of a gun, of a gun
    Take your stand

    Fall in line, yea a bow
    Come on, let's go
    Hey, Leader, strike up
    Hey, Leader, strike up
    Hey, Leader, strike up the band! Writer/s: GEORGE GERSHWIN, IRA GERSHWIN
