Let the drums roll out

Let the trumpets 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 on, let’s go

Hey, Leader, strike up

Hey, Leader, strike up

Hey, Leader, strike up the band
