Strike up the Band

Strike up the Band - Ella Fitzgerald

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

There's 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 let's go

Hey leader 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

Take your stand

Fall in line yea a bow

Come along let's go

Hey leader strike up

Hey leader strike up

Hey leader strike up the band
